What if your school switches tiers?

What if i were to go to a school like the University of Florida Law which is ranked around the latter portion of tier one. What if they were to drop down to tier 2 after I graduate? Would jobs see me as graduating from a tier 1 school or a tier 2 school?
I hope you understood my question, any response is appreciated!
Cheers

Legal employers will hire exactly the same amount of people from UF as they would have otherwise.

I emphatically disagree. All the evidence suggests that employers fled schools like BC/BU in DROVES and did OCI at Washington and ASU. See also how UT's OCI stats skyrocketed when it broke the T14 1 year.

I'll split the difference. Florida law firms aren't going to stop recruiting UF if they drop into the top of tier 2. But nationally rad lulz is absolutely correct.

No. They didn't. Nobody gives a shit.

A shift into a lower USNews ranking tier may affect application volume, but not recruiting.

While I wouldn't say the drop is irrelevant, it would be irrelevant to 99% of all graduates. I say that because I remember when Alabama enter the group of schools ranked 30 or higher, the number of employers on campus recruiting increased by 20%. I doubt it was a coincidence. But, because only people at the tip top of the class acquired OCI type jobs anyway, the increase of employers was irrelevant to 98%ish of the class (only 2%ish of the class was likely affected by the increase). If U of Florida fell some, it may lose a handful employers that probably didn't hire at least 1 person each from the school every year. So basically, it's irrelevant to -almost- every student.
As CanadianWolf stated, the real issue is that applications would drop significantly, and that would make it more difficult for U of Florida to move back up.
