MBAs: John Smith went to college for football where he excelled. He scored perfect on his football theory course final exam. He knows every play and rule by heart. In football tactics he devised several plays that his professor said were the mark of a true savant. He spent a semester course abroad interviewing various famous NFL players on their theories and tactics. His senior seminar made national news. Yes Jon Smith graduated at the top of his football class. It was no surprise that upon graduation he was immediately drafted by the Dallas Cowboys as their new star quarter back. Despite John Smith never having actually played a day of football in his life, the coach and owner knew that with his credentials he'd be a winner. John Smith is 5'2 and 130 lbs.

But, if they're going for that angle then actually using hipster douchebags in their ads isn't going to work though. So either they haven't figured that out, or they're up to something else.
