The pitch from most colleges apparently is three to four years. It maybe-probably stands out if the pitch is different, as it did for a Penn State lineman recruit:

That spoke to me. He said it’s not a three to four year plan, it’s a four to five year plan. He said it’s four or five years to get a degree and then go to the NFL Draft. I liked that it’s student first, not athlete first. Other colleges say it’s a three year or four year plan and didn’t talk about the degree.”
