[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the majority of students pick a school because it has a football team.

It is a nice feature, but I doubt that one kid was swayed to go to Stanford because they play P5 football (except for the recruited football players).

Likewise, BU dropped football, that hasn't hurt the school.  NYU doesn't play it.  Northeastern doesn't play it.

A school like Georgetown does quite fine with a low-level, academic football team.  Same for Villanova.

Of course, VT has an incredible football culture, but that isn't why students go there.[/quote]

Mine picked ND for football. It’s the whole experience and traditions. He didn’t even consider ivies because of the lack of football. He was very high stats too. [/quote]

My high stat kid picked ND. Football wasn't a major factor at all. It's just a nice side feature that came along with. Location was much higher priority, however still picked ND because of overall undergrad education quality + strength in major field. Among the Boston schools, applied to Northeastern. Weird how ND got into this thread but it's a common sense different people have different preferences and priorities.
