@twoinanddone Actually Stanford does have Athlete only classes with titles like ‘Varsity Baseball’ which are only for team members and can be repeated for credit though limited to the number counted for graduation: https://explorecourses.stanford.edu/search%3Bjsessionid=BA2BCF2231FEA651132122B55A332C80?filter-catalognumber-ATHLETIC=on&page=0&catalog=&q=ATHLETIC&view=catalog
And of course this kind of thing from a few years ago: http://www.stanforddaily.com/2011/03/09/1046687/
If you don’t think this is going on at all major sports universities you’re living in fantasy land. There’s just too much money involved.
