And what ironic is that Mattison can't talk about it....until NSD.....and if they are smart they want this to go away fast.....real fast....and will not even touch it if asked....

UM just can't win this one as Mattsion can't respond....and it probably best if all sides let it go and move on.....
I imagine we'll likely see a comment from someone on the UM staff during their recruiting dinner.
Michigan degrees are in fact not degrees that "will take you anywhere". They are quite valuable in Michigan, of course, and in Chicago, but aren't considered top 10 magical outside of there. Southern Call degrees are much the same. They mean a lot in Southern Cal, and their alumni network is worth a lot there, even more so because it is a private school.
If you are a 3.9 gpa, high test score kid, there can be a lot of value going to a more elite school, although Stanford would be waaay more valuable than Michigan (though not as valuable still as Harvard). It would be worth it for any kid that will be able to do a 3.5 or higher GPA at college to consider something like that. But if they end up at a low 3.0 or below, all they are going to be left with is the alumni network anyway, and that is only useful if he want to stay in the great lakes region.

John Gaskins @937JohnGaskins The #1 thing I take away from Neal's final commitment to <s>#</s>Huskers is Michigan arrogance is eternal, no matter the year, coach, situation.
Cant wait till 3-4 years down the road if Neal us a stud. This will be a pre and post game storyline.
If they are smart they will let it go....its not helping now and it will only make it linger and raise questions with future recruits.......then again Harbaugh has never been known to dodge a good 'fight'.....just ask Pete Carroll....

Good point. Few do. Are there any in Div 1 that do? I don't think so.
they will have to beat OSU to get to us until 2018.
Where I grew up in Southern California a USC degree is the butt of jokes from the UC community as we often like to call it: 'its the worst degree big money can buy'.....UCLA is a far superior academic institution as is the UC system as a whole....now Stanford is very highly thought of and rightfully so....and the respect is mutual in a fun sort of way....
Anyway I suspect Mattison and Michigan will be a little more careful in the future how they phrase things in a recruits home....

Keeping this story alive is not a good move for Michigan. If I were them, I'd let it go but doubt they'll be able to help themselves. Some folks just don't get how bad it makes them look to those outside their little kingdom. It's those outside their little kingdom they should be trying to attract.
