I've been told Gray 75% Stanford, 25% Neb. I know some other fans, including Nebraska, won’t agree with this statement. But parents overrate the Stanford degree. For an undergraduate degree, it’s not much different or better than a Nebraska degree. If the person goes on to graduate school, that is more important. It’s like if you don’t take the Stanford scholarship as a undergrad, you’re totally missing the boat and your future. Wrong. As a parent, I wouldn’t of told my child that he or she had to take the Stanford opportunity over the Nebraska scholarship. Any edge is your edge with the Stanford degree. It’s permanent and will filter to better career opportunities and thus jobs. That is hopeful thinking and not at all necessarily the truth. If your career field requires a graduate degree, the Stanford undergraduate might give you some little edge into some graduate schools. But the Nebraska degree wouldn’t preclude you from not getting into many top graduate schools. Plus you still have to interview after earning your masters/doctoral degree. Some other corporate recruiters think some Stanford grads are a bit full of themselves. That last statement will irk some Cardinal or other worldly university graduates. The undergrad degree at Nebraska, Stanford or many other universities is similar and doesn’t give the noted academic school, a big leg up or the so-called lesser undergrad school a underdog standing. Employers, especially, know the difference. So I hope the Gray parents, and Rylee, don’t think that they would be doing their daughter a disservice for not advocating Stanford as her choice for college. Sports is one thing, but the Stanford degree would automatically put our daughter/son ahead of any Nebraska ungraduate in any field for her/his career. Wrong. The actual working world shows it’s not so one-sided at all. Stanford has the name and presents initial favor, but grad school accomplishments, interviews, resume, work history, attitude and presentation determine employers preference. I might be a little naive but I know a lot of truth exists in my above statements. I think it largely depends on what these players want for their future. If they plan on playing professional volleyball for the bulk of the their 20's and into their 30's and then go into some sort of non-playing volleyball related profession like coaching, I don't think it really matters which school they attend. If they plan on getting married, popping out kids and value a quieter family raising area, I don't think it really matters which school they attend. But, if they want a real power career, in business or science related, law, etc., equating a Nebraska degree with a Stanford degree is just wrong. I get your argument for overrating an undergraduate degree, but, all things created equal in an applicant other than alma mater, I'd bet my bottom dollar that in most cities outside the state of Nebraska, a Stanford graduate is getting a job over a Nebraska graduate. But, lets be practical here, someone that wants to have big success in an academic field probably isn't playing potential pro-level volleyball. I'm sure many of these ladies are very smart, but these players who literally spend half the year in a volleyball gym aren't becoming the next general partner at Ernst and Young or founding semi-conductor companies. The kind of players we are talking about shouldn't be choosing colleges because of the perceived value of their degrees because they really aren't even using those degrees in that way. Many already come from wealthy and privileged families that give them all sorts of networking access should they want to exploit that for future careers. I think the kinds of players we are talking about should be choosing schools based on overall culture and fit, not academics. Some people love being the center of attention and thrive off of being watched, others just want to play volleyball sans the glitz and glamour. Some people base their decision on closeness to friends and family...weather....campus amenities....diversity.....whatever. IMO, those are more important to a prospective national team player, who will pretty much be a slave to the sport for decades, than trying to decide which degree will help them (never) become a CEO of a Fortune 500 company. That said, I'd still choose Stanford over Nebraska. Way too many Trump supporters in flyover country.

Maybe Gray can give Stanford a shot but could have the option to transfer to Nebraska for the world class Party Planning Degree. Party Planning
Major fail dildo boy! I gave HuskerPower1 a timeout. I'm not in the mood to smell farts today.

I gave HuskerPower1 a timeout. I'm not in the mood to smell farts today. Didn't necessarily like the nickname HP1 chose to call TxVBfan, but I DID like the fact that the very necessary Hospitality/Tourism career choice was being defended. "Party Planning Degree" is a low blow and quite inaccurate.

Everything else being equal, as an employer, I would most likely favor a Stanford grad over a UNL grad. Having said that, I would take a Nebraska Wesleyan grad over both. Ay, seriously... Would you please give the blanket statements about Nebraska supporting Trump a rest? I would bet you there are a hell of a lot more Trump supporters from the Palo Alto area than from Lincoln.

VERY outstanding! I was hopeful she’d brush Stanford aside.
