You say "stop defending other schools based on nothing at all", but you clearly state you KNOW ND's degree is worth more than UGA...NOT TRUE...If it was, how can I without a doubt name 10 people (that I know) who graduated from UGA making more money than 10 people (who I know) that graduated from ND. All I'm saying is the person holding the degree has some input on how his life turns out...Regardless where you go. I'd like to think of myself as a pretty successful businessman, and when I'm hiring I don't care where you went to school when it's all said and done. I care if you are going to be able to execute the task I give you, and have me like you enough in the process. I met a guy at my sisters wedding who literally introduced himself by shaking my hand and letting me know he went to ND. My Dad said back when he went to ND, they called those guys rah-rah guys and threw them in the lake behind Stanford hall.
Dude, you're conflating anecdotal evidence with statistical facts.
For example, there are tons of millionaires who never went to college. But if I were to say "I know all these millionaires who make more than anyone I graduated with, therefor the not going to college is more valuable than going to college" that wouldn't make sense... and the statistics show it doesn't make sense.
It's also like saying "if global warming is true, how come I name days last year that were record low temperatures?" Obviously, that doesn't make sense either.
It is 100% proven that the average Notre Dame graduate makes more than the average Georgia graduate, and it's 100% proven that the median Notre Dame graduate makes more than the median Georgia graduate. This does not mean that
every Notre Dame graduate is going to make more than
every Georgia graduate, or vice versa.
It's also a fact that Notre Dame has excellent, 90%+ graduation rates for football players in meaningful majors with real classes. Georgia Tech has the second worst graduation rate in the ACC at 63% and it's even worse for African American players. They've also written articles about how none of them are allowed to do engineering and they're all pushed on the "M Train" of easy classes to stay eligible.
So it's not opinion that, on average, the ND degree is more valuable. And it's not opinion that, on average, the odds of academic success for a student athlete at Notre Dame are higher. It doesn't matter who you know and how well they're doing.
