    Unless you want to live in Chicago there is zero reason for Irvin to attend ND.

    Not everyone wants to live in Seattle for the rest of their lives. I’m from up there and have been down in LA since 2009..it’s a great place to live dispite what the sentiment in the Northwest is about the region. As a few people have mentioned there are plenty of advantages as a USC alumni in Southern California. Just like for UW grads in Seattle. There’s no denying the track record of the past 5 years of UW’s w/ DBs in the NFL however USC offers a lot as well. Incredibly strong network in this region. I’m sure that’s why his father is pushing for USC; the opportunities post career are immense.

    About as many as UCLA, And every other D1 university in LA

    Sounds like Saban will be making a west coast swing next week to pick up Irvin, Taylor-Stewart, and Griffin and take them out east for the next 4 years.

    It's good to be king.

    Lol, what?

    Chicago is two hours from Notre Dame.

    And there are a lot of people that would disagree with you that there is no reason to attend ND...

    But Irvin isn’t going to ND so it doesn’t matter.

    He just visited Bama so if they open the wallet he could end up there but he still looks like he is not leaving the west coast.

    He wants USC. If they dig the other two kids at his position then he is all UW’s.

    With Saban in home, Dr. J is headed to Tuscaloosa.

    In terms of concentration of graduates you're going to find more ND alumni in Chicago than Seattle or LA. I have a number of friends who attended ND and found jobs in Chicago due to alumni networks. It would be same with Ohio State, Wisconsin etc. Not sure where the lol is coming from...I'm not saying a ND degree is worthless on the west coast; I just think it carries more clout in the midwest. I'm aware that South Bend is two hours from Chicago; with that said no one says there, Chicago is closest major metropolis hence the migration to Chicago. That is the difference between UW/USC, a majority of said graduates end up settling in Seattle/LA.

    This is all a mute point now that it sounds like it's a battle between USC/UW/Bama.

    Fucking Pac-12 pussy programs with your bullshit tv network and bullshit neutral site championship game. Special fuck you to Mark Helfrich for not recruiting Tua.

    We should get USC's sloppy seconds not waiting until after USC, Bama, FSU, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, etc run train on the entire West coast.

    I'd say UCLA and USC are comparable. However the LMU's, Cal State Schools (Northridge, Riverside etc), LBSU's, Pepperdines etc don't hold as much clout as USC/UCLA. It's all networking. There's a reason that the Mater Dei's, Campbell Hall's, of the world funnel kids to USC..it's the same reason kids go there for film/music. They've got a ton of money and strong alumni networks.

    Let's just say I can see why kids buy into USC..they offer a lot.

    nah USC owns LA, their alumni take care of each other. same shit with UW and seattle. UCLA is the most emotionless, apathetic alumni group you'll ever find
    Agree. The business mba network isn't bad though. Outside of that? Pretty much non-existent.

    USC is much more like UW with the cult like following.
