Tough standards compared to what? I got my master's from Tulane and taught/TA'd a bunch of athletes. Some were better students than others, most were not as good as the average Tulane student, none were idiots. Also, Tulane football coaches have complained that Tulane doesn't have much in the way of "jock majors." Obviously athletes have access to tons of counseling and tutoring that average students can't get, but it was a far cry from the kind of "rocks for jocks" type of stuff you hear about at the big public universities.
How it compares to Vandy, Stanford, etc., I don't know. (Also, FWIW, I remember someone posting about
this guy a few years ago. He had an offer from Stanford, but check out his ACT score.)
