I can honestly say that there is a very strong chance that I would not have gone to the University of Iowa were it not for being a fan of the athletics as a child.
It certainly was a factor in my decision, but my choices were pretty limited, Iowa or Iowa State. I needed to choose an in state school that had an engineering program. I was also interesting in pharmacy as a back up option if engineering did not work out and only Iowa had a pharmacy program. So I chose Iowa and eventually got that engineering degree.
At least thats what I tell myself. But I still wonder sometimes if I chose Iowa subconsciously because of the football team.
