Did one of their kids write it out in grade school? The thing looks like a damn valentine or love note from an elementary school kid.

Is this really the place to be talking about love notes, PSU coaches, and kids. That is for another thread. Let's keep this clean :)

Goldman Sachs pipeline??? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

I just sent my brother a pick of that and he almost died laughing... his response: "I'm not sure if there is a single PSU kid at Goldman, and if there is I wonder whose dick he had to suck."

There's no question that the Goldman Sachs comment was overstated, but they do have their fair share of folks there. Hell, the damn school is named after a former GS partner. It's not Harvard or UPenn, but GS does actively recruit on campus.

I'm sure they're telling them that a former PSU linebacker is working at Goldman Sachs, which is 100% true. His name however escapes me.

I think your brother should tone down the arrogance a bit. Penn State's business school is widely considered to be a top 25 school, so a good deal of really bright kids come in and out of there yearly.

Wouldn't that be the opposite of arrogance? His point is that it is nothing special; and he's being realistic. It's not UVA. It's not Penn. It's not Notre Dame. It's not even BYU, Michigan, Villanova, or UNC. It's not even freaking Indiana or Richmond.

Stop defending a school for clearly skewing "facts" to serve their own ends. If my brother who is earning a degree from there can laugh at it, so can you. It's called being objective. Just like how I can tell you straight up I'd rather have an engineering degree from Stanford or MIT; he can say he'd rather have a business degree from Notre Dame. There is literally nothing to debate.

If your problem is his language choice, I can understand that. But he's a fratty kind of guy. Not much I can do to change that.

Just hope he makes the decision to join the Irish Mob.

Re: MBA programs, on this site, PSU and OSU are higher: Business school rankings from the Financial Times - Global MBA Rankings 2012

US News has ND ahead, but certainly not elite (page 2): Best Business School Rankings | MBA Program Rankings | US News

Certainly seems as though both are very good schools.

On a side note, after having looked at rankings-I went to the #1 Crim program. Best Criminology Programs | Top Criminology Schools | US News Best Graduate Schools

How about that!?

I have no dog in the "business" school fight. Is ND regarded as a better place? Sure.

But it's what you make of it. They can provide you the education, you have to accept it.

Case and point. I'm a software engineer at a LARGE company. A friend of mine, who is of the same 30'ish age, works here as well. He's an ND grad in finance. His boss, who is younger than him, is a Penn State grad.

How do we explain that?

Edit: I'm in no way implying anything about an ND degree. It is what it is. For us that didn't obtain one, it's something that we dream about (literally, I kick myself thinking about the past and what I would have tried to do at ND). But it isn't end all, be all. I know we all, as fans, pride the university on it's education, but what it COULD provide doesn't mean it's the same for all students. There are student-athletes that do just as well outside of ND. Is the percentage higher that they will succeed with an ND degree? Sure. Does it mean that a degree from PSU means that they will ALWAYS be less successful than someone from ND? Absolutely not.

Lets keep the thread about Alex.

All decisions by young men such as Alex are simply giving oneself the best-guess opportunity to succeed and thrive, and never "sure thing" situations. Alex himself will be the biggest determinant in his success or not in school and in later life.

What we who are close to Notre Dame know, is that it gives the young person an extremely good environment in which to grow academically, spiritually, and socially on top of the great faculty that it offers. We can say, without much debate from persons outside of Notre Dame, that our school and our family is as good as it gets in objective terms. This is what Alex and his teammates-to-be at Notre Dame are seeing and weighing as they choose.

Other elements always will have their place: homesickness and fear of the loss of one's social network, needing to be close to whom we've depended upon. Alex and his teammates are mature enough to realize that this getting-out-there and growing into what they can be must happen soon anyway. Therefore Notre Dame is still as good a guess as you can make.

Thoughtful people, talented people, thoughtful and talented families pick Notre Dame. That is the dependable constant as to who we are. Alex, and Mike, and Hunter, and Rashad, and and and all know that. Unless something very unusual programmatically/academically arises elsewhere, Notre Dame, as a TOTALITY, is not out-ranked anywhere.

No, there is a lot of "dick sucking"* in the military and the not "elite" business of America. There was a he11 of a lot in the computer business, in the heyday. There is also some in education and a whole lot in medicine; my ex-wife who was a charge nurse in the ER used to use that expression a lot, brought it home from work, until I splained to her that I had never struck a woman. Ever. She thanked me for that piece of information. I told her that may well change if I ever heard her say that again . . . No problem ever again until I filed for divorce . . .


* as a term to indicate bribery.
