So, a kid that wants to attend Alabama because they are a national football powerhouse and have the potential to do it again, or because they will receive great preparation for the next level and they might realize their dream of playing in the NFL... is that unrealistic? Do you suppose that most kids want to play in the SEC because it is a strong conference with numerous teams ranked in the top 20 in the nation and with that comes exposure and opportunity? I submit that these kids are attracted to these programs because of the school's history; what they offer, football and otherwise; and not because they were recruited.
