Jkisaak, if I understand your point correctly, all (or the majority of) the complaints listed here (and elsewhere on these intertubes) come solely from franchisees that aren't capable of doing the work. It seems to me that any franchisor worth the name would very quickly and efficently weed out those that are going to damage their brand. After all, if the brand name is damaged, it hurts the franchisor in the long run more than franchisee.
I am certain that there are folks that are very happy with the job that College Pro did for them. I am certain that there are former employees and former franchise owners that are very happy with the relationship they had with the company. What I am also certain of is that there is a very vocal group that thinks that there are some severe problems with the basic business model and that there are some questionable, if not fraudulent, practices. Blaming things on "bit off more than they could chew" only goes so far when you read about some practices that violate some pretty important labor laws.
Oh, and I also find it interesting that you only look at this thread when you're here and that you seem to want to have the last word in this thread. On that last point, let me assure you that it just won't happen.
Jinn, I'm with you: I think he still works for them and this is damage control.
