That's what I object to, the mentality towards her daughter embodied in that statement.

I think what really killed me is that the mother obviously doesn't understand SEC recruitment. The mother said she was an AST. I'm absolutely not picking on AST, but they don't have many, if any chapters at ultra-competitive campuses. Therefore, the mother most likely went to a college where not only do most people get placed, but most people get their first or second choice as well...
