Stanford's New Student.

Yes, I found out after hearing rumors it is true that Michelle Wie has been accepted into Stanford for next fall. What I couldnt wrap my head around is that she turned pro, so couldnt play collegiately?? Which is true in fact, she is not eligible to play for Stanford in the NCAA, you MUST be an amateur to play NCAA.

And, if she doesn't apply for membership in the LPGA, she can still play the 5 to 6 events per year. Playing a limited schedule of LPGA events should allow her to maintain a full class schedule at Stanford. She will need to concentrate on the studies or may find herself out on the street! I would think she will take each year as it plays out. If she can bring her game back and compete in the upper tier of the LPGA, will probably move to a full time pro career after a couple years of college. If her game remains somewhat mediocre, in the events she plays, she will probably finish her degree. She's banked something like 10 mil already and will see another payday or two just from endorsements. I'm sure MW will remain a rather volitile topic of discussion on these DB's for another few years.

Ah man, I thought you were going to say it was you, was ready to hoot and hollar. Oh well, lots of drinking, strippers, and time going to waste on only me.

If you were in her position,

what would you do?

I would start attending Stanford at 22. It wouldn't hurt to rake in a few more million in the next four years. Who knows? Her value might decline after college.

That or we'll see her in Playboy or Hustler enjoying her putter.

I look forward to it.

It wont last, endorsements she can retire off of for the rest of her life. Why would you even bother going to school? If I were her I would concentrate more on becoming a great golfer. She obviously has talent, she is just lacking the maturity to make the right descisions. School is imporant but there is always time for it later on down the road.

I think her "VALUE" declined this year.

I totally agree. We have a few success stories who ditched school to be a professional athlete. Most of them are in the NBA, but you catch my drift.

Yeah, look at Kobe Bryant, he is not even in his prime.

Is it that she lacks the maturity or is that her father lacks the maturity? Even with all of her posturing and comments about wanting to play the men's tour and get into the Master's, her dad could have been steering her in a better direction as far as how to be most successful long term. I blame him for milking her novelty/fame for short term cash as much as anything.

This makes zero sense to me? She needs to be out working on her game. This seems a little rediculous to me. 10-1 says she doesn't even enroll.

Now we're making some sense... Maybe he's "afraid" she'll cut him off of the big bucks if he doesn't go along with her little whims..???
