Can't deny that for a kid with a 4.0 GPA that supposedly cares about academics, picking WVU over Northwestern & BC is a bit of an odd choice. Which degree do you think gets you more in the job market, WVU or Northwestern?
I have no idea what this kid wants to study. Is he an engineering guy? I'm not going to start lauding WVU's academics, but perhaps he's looked into his options a bit more carefully than you. You may be right about WVU's academic reputation, but I have no idea if there is any truth to that. Aren't we a fanbase that has to deal with meritless "backup college" and "they're so slow, but hard working" cliche lazy nonesense?
Edit: forgot to answer the q: if the market is pro basketball, I think the clear answer is WVU.
