re: 2016 UGA Recruiting Thread (commits, offers, visits, etc.)

Know several former players from UGA and other schools like Furman,AU and FSU.

All graduated and do pretty damn well.They have degrees ranging from Business Education to Political Science to an MBA.

You don't necessarily have to go to Terry to be successful.Most of these guys had doors open up for them that would NEVER had happened had they not played CFB.

They really don't have to be a business major but they can't be getting Recreation degrees as well

I mentioned this on the thread on the rant, but it's ridiculous to compare arbitrary rankings that use entire schools as the benchmark. We all know that the athletics departments, specifically football at UGA, receives the largest amount of notoriety at the institution. To truly measure the paper value of the degree, specifically concerning football, you'd need to look at football player median income over the 5 years post graduation (combination of education and network). Anything that is used to compare school A to school B when marketing to a student athlete or football player needs to use that subset of the population as the sample. Otherwise you're comparing apples and oranges.
