Exactly. I seriously doubt Steve pushed him over the fence on the issue
The kid was probably already leaning heavily Stanford and let Steve know that and just encouraged him to do what he thought was right.

How long ago did this happen? That might explain some things.

It depends on what they are studying...an undergrad at BYU

I love BYU. But BYU is no Stanford.

Why would you do that? I don't understand your reasoning. Not even a little.

Data that indicates that Stanford degrees are the equivalent of BYU degrees.

Accounting is the only possible exception to Stanford being the academically superior and prestigious school

Stanford has the #2 MBA behind Harvard...BYU's is in the 30's
BigYfan
9/30/16 2:02pm
An MBA is irrelevant for a student athlete. It's a graduate degree

There are certain undergrad degrees at BYU that match up very well to Stanford's

Lol, not true at all. Just having Stanford's name on your degree, regardless

Not true at all. Recruiters will take a Stanford grad over BYU grad regardless

Not true.

I don't think a grad degree should necessarily be a goal but BYU then a grad

I don't think Steve was "recruiting" anyone I think he just offered a Mormon

Steve was doing BYU a favor because he knew the kid sucked.

Same Class as Heaps, played QB. Was good advice, even with his mission and position change.

I'd recommend to anyone that they go to Stanford over BYU. It's a no brainer.

I too would go to Stanford over BYU, but it's not a no brainer.

Depends upon the degree. BYU Bachelor Engineering degrees are far better.

No way I'd still be Mormon today if I went to Stanford. BYU was by far the best school for my undergrad work.
