[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you not read the part upthread where I said "No chance would I pick Alabama though, unless you were a five-star recruit"?

There are players who have chosen Princeton over Alabama and Michigan.

As an aside, any five-star recruit who cares one bit about academics should always be choosing Michigan, Texas, or Georgia over Alabama.[/quote]

One of the links has a kid committed to Ga Tech (Power 4).  None are five star.

Most athletes and especially football are sports management majors.  Doesn’t really matter where you go.  Also, the alumni network for top football schools is great everywhere…so again, it doesn’t really matter.

Just FYI, but nearly the entire All Ivy basketball team transferred to Power 4 schools this past year, including several from Harvard.  Those guys will make around $250k each per year in NIL.

Athletes just don’t care that much about pedigree.  I recall on last year’s final 4 NC State team the starting point guard (who was a senior last year) had transferred from Stanford.[/quote]
