There is NOTHING wrong with what he said


This is why most LSU alums encourage their kids to go to LaTech; education is most important

Evander Jr played like jane and was more interested in his modeling career then school or sports at Auburn, so maybe he should just be worried actually having his sons grasp their education

The obvious solution: Georgia needs to increase tuition to $251,000. Problem solved.

Georgia landed elite 2016 prospect Elijah Holyfield last week, but his father says Notre Dame would be a better destination due to its academic prestige.


Evander is not the sharpest tool in the shed is he?

Extremely subjective and dubious rankings that go against almost all other published rankings AND general American consensus of school rankings isn't what I'd call "bringing facts to the debate"

I'd love to see the median salary of football scholarship athletes that graduate from different institutions. Since schools essentially all recruit the same players, this would be a much better indicator of the "value" of school A education/network compared to school B education/network.

Is Georgia even a top 3 school in Georgia?


We are a top 3 school in the SEC educationally. But there are several very good schools in Georgia....GT, Emory to name 2. But if I had to guess, I would say it is a Top 3 school in the state.

It's #3 I'd say. I'd rank it ahead of Emory but I hate Emory.
