. I heard one kid picked Michigan because he was a Harbaugh fan and would love to watch him coach when he gets there. [/quote]

Heck, my 17 year old D crossed a school off a list because she didn't like what the people in the area were like in a local Denny's. I have friends who have taken their kids on summer tours spent a ton taking kid around to look at colleges, some kids refused to even get out of the car at some schools. Come on. Picking a school because of the football team is NOT the worst reason, especially if its Michigan.

Not much critical thinking goes into a reason why a kid likes one over the other at 14,15,16 of 17.
