If true, that seems like a great landing place, and if basketball doesn't work out, he still has a great degree to use in the real world.

Seems like a smart move for Domingo. It is quite different from the stupid moves made by Bennimon and V. Sanford. Now that their basketball careers are over, they will have degrees from Towson State and Dayton. Now there is nothing wrong with those degrees, but they are not the prestigous degree each would have had had they graduated from Georgetown. They will find out when they go looking for a job.

good luck to him. He should have playing time opportunities. Anthony Brown will graduate and Roscoe Allen will be a senior. Hope he does well

He will never play on this level again. He'll be in the West Coast Conference next season. Take your BS agenda elsewhere Good call.

Jerelle and Vee got to play basketball and not sit on the bench. Jerelle was POY and Vee got to the sweet sixteen. Transfers worked for them. Dominogo wanted to go to Stanford, but they wanted him to complete his senior year. Perhaps he needed the work in order to compete academically at the big hill.

If you are talking about basketball, that's true. Down the road, if you think that it doesn't matter whether it is a degree from Towson State or Georgetown when you put your resume out there I don't know what to say. The resume comes to the employers before they even meet the candidate. In most jobs there are several resumes and I can tell you that it DOES make a difference where you got your degree from, particularly for the first job. There is also the advantage of networking with other Georgetown grads who are more likely to be found in higher management.
Hoyainspirit, you are just wrong. It is not nonsense.

It is not nonsense. to piggyback on this: The 12th man on Stanford's bench has a good chance of making as much or more than Jerrelle B will at his first pro basketball contract. All because he has a degree from Stanford. I know a guy who rode Stanford's bench who got a bank management position making around 250. first job out of college. No actual experience at being in a bank management position. But because he had a degree from Stanford, they let him learn on the job. that's how good a stanford degree is. Great turnout for Stephen Domingo

daytonahoya, your example may be true, but the idea that an average Stanford graduate (i.e., generally a very smart accomplished person) would get a job straight out of college making $250,000 a year is nothing even remotely close to normal.
Entry level positions at banks generally do not pay anything even close to $250,000 in this economy, unless you have a special skill or specialty that makes you valuable (and usually that requires a lot more than a college degree). If there is a bank dumb enough to hire a newly minted 22 year old college graduate for $250,000 I'd like to know who it is so I can cash in, too.

Where your argument is flawed is the assumption that everybody with a Georgetown or similar degree wants to pursue (or is able to pursue) the type of "traditional" career path that makes those degrees more valuable than one from Towson or Dayton. Benimon likely can make a lot of money playing overseas. Who knows if he would be in the same position had he stayed at Georgetown. And you never know what opportunities might have opened up for Vee based on his decision to transfer. The world is full of successful people with "inferior" degrees.

Congrats to Domingo! Looks like he was a very good student at Georgetown and that would have only helped the Hoyas APR and offset Whittington and Josh Smith's APR damage.

Hoyainspirit-you are a Coward. It is fine to disagree and to even call my post nonsense. But make a point. What about my post is nonsense?? All? Part?? What??
Are you saying that A Towson degree is seen in the same light as a Georgetown Degree?? It probably doesn't matter if you go into construction or working as a waiter. However, if you are applying for a job that requires, computer skills, writing skills, speaking skills, etc., you better believe It matters to an employer. Believe it or not, it often matters to a potential mate (and probably his or her parents as well). Georgetown is also a great place to meet a potential mate. The campus is full of students of the opposite sex who are bright, and well motivated. It may not be fair or equitable, but that is how the world works.
Incidentally, playing in Europe is not as easy as it once was. The Europeans are very good now, and unless you are a star over there, the pay is mediocre.
