Michelle Wie accepted at Stanford:
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/12/19/sports/NA_SPT_GLF_Wie_Stanford.php
Hmmm. She's a pro golfer, so she can't play on the golf team.
Anybody know what she plans to study?

That certainly was a shocker. Well, I got to give to her for not
following people's expectations for her.

If I were her, I'd study business. As a athlete/celebrity, there's so
many business opportunities out there, especially after your career.

A schocker? I don't think so. Being accepted to Stanford and
completing an education a two different animals. Woods did not hang
around very long and I doubt that Wie will either.

Well, that surprises me. I thought that after being embarrassed in
the PGA events this year, she would be anxious to devote full time to
golf after HS graduation. Going to Stanford will leave her less time
for golf than going to high school.

She's rich. I'm wondering if she's been playing with the men for her
contract with Nike, and isn't that interested in a pro golf career. I
guess we'll find out.

Regardless, I applaud her decision to go to college and take in that
unique 18-21 year old experience. She has the rest of her life to be
pro.

I'm not assuming she's going to finish. But I was shocked that she is
planning on attending college after already being pro for over a year.
Do you know any other athletes who attended college full-time *after*
turning pro?

It ain't about the prize money. Other than Tiger, do you know any athletes
that made $10M before they played their first professional game?
