[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,  Your DS is like Kirk Cousins at GMU while kids that attend Ivies are like RGIII.  RGIII won the Heisman, drafted by the Commanders as the 2nd overall in the 2012 draft while Cousins was drafted by the Commanders in the same draft but in the 4th round.  Guess what, RGIII is no longer in the NFL while Cousins played two years for the Commanders under the franchise tag, 20M+ per year.  After that, Cousins signed a 84M with the Vikings after he left the Commanders.  I think he just signed a one year contract with the Vikings for 35M.  In terms of earnings, Cousins probably makes ten times more than RGIII.  Twenty years prior to that, the Commanders drafted Heath Shuler in the 3rd overall and Gus Frerotte in the 6th round.  Gus ended up becoming the starter and made more money than Shuler.  The former Commanders QB Carson Wentz went to a no name school and got drafted as the 2nd overall pick in the NFL by the Eagles and they gave him a 120M+ contract.

Your kid will do well at GMU.  Big name schools are overrated.  You should not give a F___ what people think.[/quote]

Your analogy doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense.  Maybe Ben Roethlisberger who went to Miami, Ohio and is a hall of fame quarterback is a better example?  Neither Cousins nor Wentz will be remembered either...Wentz has already flamed out...while Jalen Hurts from Alabama and Oklahoma (Ivies of NCAA football?) just signed one of the richest deals in history after knocking Wentz out of the starting position.[/quote]

Except that Miami University is also the Cradle of Coaches and has graduated plenty of other famous people, including a United States President, several senators, a Speaker of the House (and VP candidate), several famous writers (PJ O’Rourke, Rita Dove). Biden’s top adviser is a Miami grad (Western College Program).[/quote]
