Barry Sanders Jr. made the best choice. As the father of a Stanford Grad who was a member of the Track Team I know first hand what Stanford has to offer thier students and what thier students offer to Stanford. Stanford Football has a great coach and team. Barry will love the school and have a great experience and most best of all he will have a Stanford Degree for life.

If your are serious about education, why wouldn't you select Stanford over OSU? If you're only interested in the pros either would be okay. In the long run, networking with a Stanford degree will be more beneficial.

Barry Sanders was the man on a football field, I hope his son set his own path to success, even if it's not playing ball. Web Link for barry sanders highlights
