In the context employment after graduation, it's really the collegiate level that matters. In my experience, very little attention was given to where I graduated high school. Most top multinationals will care more about a guy who graduated from the top universities even if they came from no-name high schools, than a guy who came from one of the top private high schools but graduated from a no-name college.
I agree, college degree is what the company will really look at. In fact, if someone from a no-name high school and gets into a good college and performs well, that is plus points on the part of recruitment. Attitude though, is something that the company , superiors and co-workers will learn over time and that is something a college education alone cannot determine, although it can reinforce and correct (as i have seen with some people who were taken in as scholars and guided by their mentors... too bad with the size of school populations today, it is quite hard to develop an intimate level of student-mentor relationship as it was many years ago.).

Re. the rivalry, I feel that a good part of it is because the games today are relatively "nice guy" as compared to before. You don't have the players with real deal angas attitudes and games that would result in bench clearing brawls (bad as it may be in terms of being a role model, a lot will admit it was still part of the fun). When i watch games live, it seems another part is because a lot of students in the last decade have gotten used to winning, nawala na yung gutom and puso to stand up and cheer all throughout until you lose your voice.
