That's a terrible rationale/explanation. PARENTS are responsible for establishing a family culture that makes sure their kids ultimately assess the potential colleges in a thoughtful way (whether as 9th, 10th, 11th graders, etc).
Reading a parent saying its reasonable for a kid to pick a school based on a football coach/team they can watch speaks to why the USA is falling behind ...
When the school is Michigan (or Stanford, or Notre Dame, whatever) then it doesn't really matter, does it? If he chose Florida State over Dartmouth "because of the football team" then you might have a point.
