My decision was in part because FIU offers a part time program. I'm 40 years old, not fresh out of undergrad. That and like I said before, the value FIU offers were both the main reasons. In the grand scheme of things, it's about academics, not whether the school has a good football team. That won't add value to the degree. While at your point in your career, the name doesn't matter as much, it is an elitist profession and there are opportunities that never materialized for you and won't for me either simply because the name on the degree isn't Harvard or some other top 14 school.
Even if I hadn't gone to Miami for undergrad, that doesn't mean I can't know what Butch did at Miami. I've been following the football team since 1986. I know what Butch did, but it's 18 years later. As I've said on other threads, lightning doesn't strike twice.
