<p>People who are convinced that they themselves aren’t ignorant usually are, just as people who are convinced that they’re more tolerant than everyone else are usually the most bigoted. If you want to see real intolerance, go to a school that calls itself liberal, where people with opposing views are so often shouted down, and where diversity is celebrated only if it’s the right kind. Everyone has a bias; some of us just think we don’t.</p>
<p>Whoa, whoa. Everyone calm down and stop arguing. If you don’t like ND, you should just ignore its threads and continue looking at whatever school’s threads you do like. There’s no need for arguing and hatred here.</p>
<p>Without this becoming an attack, if everyone could look at espn.com for a second. I’m glad to see Stanfod is such a troublemaker.</p>
<p>The point is, no school is perfect. Even Stanfod.</p>
<p>^ You’re right, “Stanfod” isn’t perfect. But Stanford is.</p>
<p>Right, gotcha. I hope you enjoy your time there.</p>
<p>“The fact that ND football players graduate at the same rate as football players from Stanford and the service academies suggests that the curriculum is watered down for the ND athletes.”</p>
<p>The student athletes at Notre Dame are held to the same university and departmental requirements as the rest of the student body.</p>
<p>The merits of Stanford as an elite research university is wasted upon somone with such an acute affinity for offering arguments based on assumptions which, upon research, would have proven false.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>These university and departmental requirements must be a joke because the average “student athlete” on the ND football team cannot break 1000 on his SAT.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ll let you in on a little secret. </p>
<p>The ‘R’ guy is standing (hidden) behind the ‘O’ guy.</p>
<p>Last time I checked, SAT scores were sealed and private, and not public domain, so your ability to calculate the average SAT score for the ND football team is either unfounded or evidence of your extra-cognitive abilities. Which is only supported by your ability to take what was to be used symbolically to help end an argument and delve ever-deeper, spotting something that only the stoutest of observers could perceive. Got a link to the Stanford transfer app?</p>

<p>“The average SAT score for Notre Dame football players in 1997 (I couldn’t find results from more recent years) was 899.”</p>
<p>^ Fwiw, I don’t necessarily agree with the arguments or the opinions made in the above article. </p>
<p>Paul Hornung’s comments were racially insensitive.</p>
