Stanford doesn't pay as much athletic money as you think they do. Getting on the team and getting into Stanford is the benefit these recruits have. Most of them get outstanding money based on financial need, leaving only a little bit left of athletic money making for a great overall financial package.
You really think Fisher and McGorty didn’t have full rides? Those two guys success set the stage for Milt to more easily gain many top recruits. A runner like Fisher doesn’t come around very often. I would imagine every program offered him a full ride for the same strategic reason to build the future of their distance program around him.
Watch the machine roll in coming years due to their current depth, lasting impression on young athletes that Fisher and McGorty have had; all the while on the back of solid coaching, incredible learning institution and training environment.
What is a full ride? Stanford's tuition and room and board is about $67,000 per year. Is Stanford giving them each $67,000 a year of athletic aid? No. Does all the aid they get amount to them having to pay nothing to go there? Likely yes, and if not yes, it is a teeny amount.

am i the only person who thinks nico young might go pro? his coach seems like the kind who would push this (or maybe would push him going somewhere like nop?)
I think his coach already thinks he's gone pro. He treats that team (at least the 6 kids he pays any attention to) like a pro team, not a high school team.

Grant Fisher leaving Stanford will be a big hit. Next to impossible for a coach to replace a guy like that?
I'm from right outside Flint, MI. I shouldn't be here. But I am. And now the people say I am irreplaceable. To the kids out there, follow your dreams and only smoke marajuana on occassion.

Without an Aussie named Morgan pulling off big wins, Fisher would have been in the spotlight as the greatest and most consistent American collegian distance runner since Galen Rupp. Come to think of it, he is and he broke Rupp’s American 3000 m indoor record this year.
We'll see who has the last laugh at outdoor nattys.

It's not about the money bro. It's about building a foundation for my future. You guys don't know me so why act like you know how much our scholarships are worth?

Will Stanford be okay with the graduation of Grant Fisher?
The fans make me feel so special. But every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. Stanford will be back and better than ever next season!
