[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 122736, member: 231"] I hope the Tech recruiting staff does play up this facet of the program, I would think they do actually. I imagine it as useful for the recruiters to keep it in mind as a way to really sell Tech to both an "education-first" recruit or "education-first" parents but more importantly it could appeal to a kid who is kind of borderline or wishy-washy about prioritizing education first. If you get a good academic kid but who is really driven to make the pros then they could easily tell themselves "well, I [I]can [/I]get a good education anywhere because I am a good student and naturally bright, however, I am really concerned about getting a honest chance at the NFL." Such a kid could be swayed by the pomp and stats of a factory that takes in a dozen 4 and 5 stars each year and has a dozen kids drafted or signed as free agents each off-season. So this is an argument to try and win over a recruit like that . . . compare how many of those pros at the other schools go back to finish their degrees at Bama or wherever versus how many come back to Tech. Tech rightfully says it offers the "best of both worlds" and this seems to me like a way to at least rhetorically "prove" it. [/QUOTE]
