And previous Xavier coach has been known as one of the most toxic recently. Easy to understand why she may have left the team.

The fact many of you follow and critique the lives of many of these young ladies is just mind-boggling - just as mind boggling as an obsession with being ranked in top 15 versus top 25....

Great point.

I'd also add that some parents obsession with Ivy and other "high academic" schools is just as bad. The difference between any Ivy League school and being in the honors program at a good public university is very minimal in terms of quality of education, job prospects, and admission to grad schools. In fact, in terms of grad school admission, the public university actually gives us a better chance in most instances.

I am not aware of any evidence that students from public schools have a better chance of getting into graduate school than those from "high academic" schools. At best, the chances are likely neutral, but attending a public school alone does not provide an advantage. That’s crazy talk.

In terms of med school, top public universities tend to do better than Ivies with similar MCAT scores -- there are multiple analysis on this. Can't speak to law or business schools.

I am aware of no conclusive research that supports this. If you have multiple analyses to support your claim please post links to them, or even just one.

I think most of us just hope these kids land at schools that are a good fit for them. whether it be Ivy League, D3, D2, or ACC, Big 10, Patriot Leauge, NESCACs whatever league they want, or division they want. That is the most important thing: that the players are happy, healthy, and going somewhere they want to be that sets them up for future career success after graduation.
