Stanford is a school that's easy to love to hate — exclusive, expensive, and incredibly successful. The school has 94 NCAA national championships, in a wide variety of sports that most Americans could care less about, like track and swimming. Tech flack Mark McClennan just handed them the 2008 championship in a field most Americans could care less about, social networking. Comparing the ratio of students and alumni registered with their school to the number of students currently enrolled, Stanford rose to the top of the bracket, beating tiny Davidson (alma mater of my colleague Nicholas Carlson) in the finals. The reaction from the bleachers? Yawns. Because the Cardinals still suck at football. (Photo by AP/Kevork Djansezian)
