I always cringe a little bit when I see some of these Ivy League players transfer before finishing their degree.  I'm sure it will work out for some of them, but I don't think a lot of them understand what they're passing up.

My wife has an Ivy League degree (I'm a buffoon compared to her), and literally any time she applies for a new job she gets a phone call the same day asking her to interview.  She obviously has to perform from that point forward, but I don't think a lot of people fully realize the doors that level of degree opens for you.  I don't know if these players fully realize it.

I should also note that before I became a teacher she and I worked in the same industry, and had pretty similar resumes outside of where we went to school (my UConn degree).  If I just applied to a job without knowing anyone, there was zero chance I would hear anything.  I got the jobs I did from networking and meeting people in the industry.  She applies to jobs and the same day has people falling over each other to interview her.
