If I were an alter - why would I come back as a fan of the same team? That's not a fun troll.

why he didn't go to either of those schools was pretty shocking to me with the level they are playing at and the education offered since he is a really bright kid.
It's only shocking to the ignorant. Apparently he liked Arkansas better than Stanford and Ohio State and all the others. Nobody is going to argue that Stanford and Ohio State aren’t fine colleges but I've learned over the years that just about any college will get a person where they want to go in life if they put forth the effort, provided said college offers the chosen field of study.
Case in point, former Wal-Mart President and CEO, Lee Scott, was a graduate of Pittsburg State, KS. I’m not sure of Scott’s net worth but his compensation in 2007 was about 30 million. Not bad for a graduate of Pittsburg St. don’t you think?
David Glass, another former President and CEO of Wal-Mart, graduated from Missouri State University in Springfield, MO. That right, that’s the same David Glass who owns the Kansas City Royals and probably worth a few hundred million dollars. No doubt David has a few Stanford and Ohio State Grads working for him.
And for what it’s worth, the next President and CEO of Wal-Mart will probably be an
Arkansas Grad (BSBA) (MBA from Tulsa) and no doubt he will hire some fine Stanford and Ohio State Grads to work for him and Wal-Mart. Most people go to college to get an education hoping that that education provides them with a better standard of living. Most colleges can provide a good education if you are willing to put forth the effort.

So what you're trying to tell me is that I should go back and get another undergrad degree at Pittsburg State and I can become rich mother fricker and powerful CEO? Far more rich than I would become with a Stanford degree?

I really didn’t expect you to understand but I thought I would try. A person gets out of college what they put into it and performance after they graduate is all that matters, not where they went to college.

Only in a perfect world. The earning potential of a Stanford degree is far higher and presents far more opportunities than a UT or Arkansas degree, statistics show. It is what it is.
Basically what you told me was a 1 in a million story that doesn't apply to 99.9999% of Americans.. its the same thing as a 2* or 1* high school recruit making it big and becoming an NFL all-pro player. It happens occasionally - but far less likely than a highly rated player. (although that occurrence is far more frequent than some guy going to a glorified community college and becoming the CEO of Walmart)

I knew you wouldn't get it. It's one thing to be ignorant and correct your ignorance and yet something very different to be ignorant and choose to remain that way.
It's obvious your pettiness for anything Arkansas is clouding your a ability to learn, that is if you are capable. Many people are content to let others dictate how successful they will be in life, and you appear to be one of them, by accepting some preconceived notion that your social status and where you received your formal education dictates your earning power in life. It's a good thing that Steve Jobs (Reed College dropout), Sam Walton (Missouri), Ray Kroc (no college experience), Jerry Jones (Arkansas) William Dillard (Arkansas), Oprah Winfrey (Tennessee State), etc. didn't have your mentality.
