Woods attended Stanford for more than “a little while”. He completed at least two full academic years there, including two seasons with the golf team and an NCAA individual championship. However, given his earnings during his first 24 months or so as a professional, if he concluded that the opportunity cost of remaining in college was too high, he was right.

John McEnroe attended Stanford for a little while – I think he left to turn pro without completing his third quarter. Lots of successful athletes, however, have actually graduated from Stanford, including John Elway, Jim Plunkett, Notah Begay, James Lofton.
