Michelle Wie's Spring Class Schedule at Stanford: "Social Dances of North America III", "Beginning Improvising", and "Interpersonal Relations"....SWEEEET


Ah Fricking Ha !!!!  If you have been a BCC reader from back in the early days, you will recalll how I ripped on Michelle Wie and her imbecilic responses to countless interviewers - calling into question exactly how difficult the curriculum could be at Stanford if she could continue to make the deans list. If you have listened to, or read even ONE interview with Wie, none of this will surprise you...she's clearly as dense as she sounds...
Weeeeeel... as my Dad would say, "The Genie is out of the Jug".  As reported by Fox News yesterday,it seems that the AD at Stanford has assembled a " list of classes for athletes" like the "Big Queasy"... (Can't your hear the Church Lady..... "well isn't that special"...)


check excerpts from the story below...



Stanford University allegedly offered a list of easy classes to student-athletes, according to the Stanford Daily.
The college newspaper reports it was a closely guarded list only offered to Stanford athletes and not the rest of the student body.
"It's definitely not going to be a hard class if it's coming off that list," sophomore women's volleyball player Karissa Cook told the paper.
Some of the courses identified on the list were "Beginning Improvising," "Social Dances of North America III" and "Interpersonal Relations."
Stanford athletes have been known to ask for the list from the Athletic Academic Resource Center, despite the "courses of interest" list not being posted on its website. Advisers in other college departments tell the paper they didn't know such a list existed.
A spokesman for the athletics department claims the classes are no pushover.
"An objective evaluation of the courses included on the list reveals several courses that most students would consider to be academically rigorous," Austin Lee, director of academic services at the Athletic Academic Resource Center, told the Stanford Daily.
Some university professors say athletes are treated differently than your average student.
"(Stanford) accommodates athletes in the manner that they accommodate students with disabilities," professor Donald Barr told the paper.


(Say that one again ????  "Students with Disabilities" ???)
The list -- which had existed since at least 2001 -- was discontinued last week after student reporters began asking questions about it.

Wow, that's an arousing image of Wie. She is 18, right?

It's no surprise really and I don't think they would be the only college to offer "special classes" to athletes.

You would think that colleges would give them a class on how to talk to the media or at least bluff their way through interviews.

I think the responses were partly due to the NIKE-speak that all Nike handlers teach to their clients. Tiger gave more open, honest replies to the media before the NIKE image folks got to him. I know quite a bit about the high school Wie attended..she certainly would be the most articulate kid on the planet, but not a push over academically.

The acknowledged way to win a battle is: intensive maneuvers, full relax, taking part in couple of fights just before the battle, and being in the best shape - rush into battle !
There is a good sense to apply the same method to the tour schedule.

Good luck !
