If you don't think LSU football players get job preferences in Louisiana you have your head in the sand. They get better job opportunities.

this is true everywhere assuming a) you really have few other marketable skills and b) you're a recognizable name. Companies hire name jocks as sales guys because they know their name will get them appointments. Bobby Humphreys sold a lot of concrete in Birmingham.

If the player goes elsewhere and actually applies himself to getting a good degree while developing marketable skills, where he went to school won't matter.
