90+% of Stanford footballers are never going to even sniff the NFL.  The "40-year" question breaks down to:

"Do you really want to run a Lexus dealership in Akron/Mobile/Pasadena/etc. or do you want to spend the rest of your life trying to help change (even a tiny toty part of) the world?"

Is there something wrong with running a Lexus dealership anywhere?  The problem escapes me.

I've had three years in the trenches interviewing candidates for Stanford, and all of them wanted to go to the farm to help change the world, in various ways, for expected remuneration which ranged from megabucks to just a living wage.  None of them expressed any interest in running a car dealership.  I think that meme is one of the things that separates Stanford's "40 years" ptich vis a vis tUSO, US of C, Notre Mama, etc.  Capice? (insert serious smiley face here).
