<p>Stanford & Duke are worlds away from Cornell in terms of recruited athletes. These schools are constantly on TV & in the NCAA tourney (basketball). Their revenue & exposure is at a different level than Cornell’s which is why they make a greater concetion for atheletes. Can’t say what the cutoff is right now, but I know a coach who was an assistant at Cornell 7-8 years ago & he couldn’t get players in if they were below a 1200.</p>
