    uw does rank high, but the high ranking is because uw has a very solid medical school, which gets the most $$$ in research grants in the country. But there is nothing unique about a 4-year degree from uw. And I doubt many football players are in the medical program.

    UW has more than just a solid med school. You're absolutely right about a bachelor's degree being no more valuable than a run of the mill degree from a directional school or branch campus though.

    A BS or MS from high brow schools like Oregon State, Humboldt State, Colorado State, and even Idaho-Moscow have more prestige in my field than one from UW. No joke. Not that it really matters. Hiring decisions always come down to experience and interviews.
    Any high school kid who is serious about their education isn't choosing those schools over UW unless they can't get the money/scholarship to go to UW. Idaho will take you with a fucking 2.0, and beavlet...lol.

    Fuck me for even touching this thread.
    And UW will take an athlete with that same 2.0.

    You just don't get it. It's not about which school is harder to get into for the general student body. A kid with a 3.9 in HS who goes to the UW degree factory for their BS in biology or journalism or econ has no advantages, none, over a kid who stumbled into Idaho with their 2.5 and got the same degree.

    “I’m closing my recruitment completely; this is the school I wanted and this has been my dream school since freshman year,” Tafiti said.

    Stanford has been his dream school for two and a half years. Hard to beat that.

    We were Morrison's dream school since he was like 8 years old lol
    No fucking way?!?!
    It's true!! He knew what he wanted before he had peach fuzz under his arms, nor was he affected by his big sister's influence.

    I'll take the UW degree instead, for a bunch of reasons. If the little Benny's and potatoe people loved their experience, more power to them. I will still make fun of them.

    That being said they shouldn't be losing tons of recruits to Stanford like this, and if they do lose a kid then it should be pussy kids like fozzy who are happy to sit on the sidelines and and wash out of the league immediately.

    Then again, Tree beats us down on the field too.

    I love how Fetters makes up an excuse about how Washington not being rated high enough academically is why we suck at recruiting now. Pete had no problem beating Stanford and ND for recruits. We just have a staff that is lazy and sucks at recruiting. It's really that simple.

    I’m not sure I’d go that far, but the difference in bachelors degrees as stand alone paper between any of the large PNW state schools is marginal, at best.

    Jesus Fetters you are truly a idiot

    The people on Dawgman who legitimately try to act like UW is the same level academically as ND, Cal, or Stanford because they saw UW was a top ten university on some bullshit ranking are the absolute worst. UW is a good school, but the doogs think it’s the same tier as an Ivy. Spoiler, it’s not.
    When you've lost Chris Fetters you've lost the war......

    When he writes one of these posts or goes deeper into a article in the past it's b/c the natives have become so restless over there to the point they have to address it, or the data is so overwhelming (as in this case) that even Chris has to admit it and find a way to pivot and come up with the most PC pro UW angle he can find.

    This isnt really true

    A UW degree carries weight in Seattle and Western WA
