[QUOTE="85Escape, post: 924485, member: 3560"] I think this is a double-standard, frankly. "It Just Means More" is 100% elitism. It's all most of them have got to be really proud of, so I don't hold it against them. [I]Of course[/I] SEC schools want to say that academics don't matter when it comes to college sports. [I]Of course[/I] they want to say it's just an excuse that other schools use to explain their failures. If you buy into that then I'd suggest that you are victim of their propaganda. This isn't a professional sport (yet), so [I]the school and it's athletics are intrinsically linked[/I]. I think we should be proud that our SAs graduate and typically have pretty darn successful post-playing careers. I'm not sure that is as true at other places (although honestly I only have anecdotal stories to go on.) But to not use that as part of our appeal, and to not advertise it as an advantage, seems frankly stupid. We shouldn't pretend to be something we aren't just so other's aren't threatened by it. We can't limit our advantages because it offends our enemies. [/QUOTE]
