For the record, Stanford did not post the photo and certainly didn't mean for it to become public. Most teams, in any sport, do not want what happens in their locker room to be open to the public.

“You know, maybe 15 years ago, it was okay because nobody saw it. Now it’s public. Especially at the NCAA tournament, those locker rooms are open. I don’t know what they’re thinking, if that’s how they get motivated ...

“Times have changed.”

Indeed, in more ways than one. The Stanford gesture is appreciated. Any good ideas on what the Stanford ladies should do in Lincoln?
