I was thinking about something when I was told about a recruit visit to a major program no too long ago. The staff was able to tell the recruit - "we are eating here where player X owns/runs the place. They played for us and spent X many years in pro sports"
"We are going here where player Z owns/runs this business, played for us and went to pro sports for Z many years"
I LOVE the fact that at Tulane we put our share of players in Pro Sports, but I love even more the fact that our coaches can say
"This business/Firm/ - President, CEO, Owner etc.. played sports for us, graduated with a degree from TULANE UNIVERSITY and didnt need to go pro$$ in order to own a company."
There is something to having the ability through your education, to control your future with your brain rather than being the person who fronts the dollars and puts a name on something that they could not even dream up.....
This is not aimed at everyone named Five Star, just some! *wink*
