That's Stanford's selling point to students as well - as well as Harvard, Yale, etc. You come here, and the connections will keep you employed and making money.
I'm assuming there's something similar with Texas, USC, and a bunch of the big-name schools. As well as some who aren't necessarily known as big name.
I'm glad BYU can take that approach too, but BYU isn't the only one. Not by a longshot.
