Stanford still has very high academic standards for their athletes…

Not to mention Blake’s major was management science and engineering, and he still was receiving awards for his academics. It’s not like he chose communications or something to say he graduated with a Stanford degree. Seems like a pretty smart dude

What is management science and engineering? Sounds more like a business degree with a fancy name

It's very likely a business degree with a couple of techincal classes so that you are better able to understand technical details later in your job.

I’m tired of that trope. I was an NCAA athlete. You ever try to get good grades in college and play a sport full time at that level? We do more than you. If we graduate with the same GPA as you while playing a sport, we are smarter than you. We are also more athletic than you. Are some of us dumb? Yeah, but so are some people who aren’t on the team.
