CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

Why on earth did USNWR enter the discussion? University presidents don't use that. Elites like Harvard Medical refused to continue reporting to that ranking because it's not good at what it tries to do.

Because it was the first hit on Google. Yeesh.

I look forward to you reporting back after you look up the rankings (system of your choice) for all of the Pac 12 and Big 12 schools. A schematic would be nice.

It has many faults, but the quick answer would be because it's by far the most cited ranking system used by prospective students and their parents (unfortunately). So flaws and all, it has a lot of impact.
 
The gulf between us and Duke is smaller than the gulf between Duke and Washington (according to Shanghai).

Medical school is a whole other ball of wax. Even the worst medical schools receive the best students. They're impossible to get into. I can see why medical schools are left wondering what purpose do the rankings serve? Apples and oranges to undergrad.

Does the CW still exist? As long as it exists on the channel line up and doesn't prioritize truck racing over football, I'd prefer it to FSN 2, CBS SN, ESPN U. If they pay, who cares? We could be their biggest star.

Problem with CW is that let's say CU is playing at ASU. CWs nationwide are guaranteed to show it. Game could possibly be shown only in Denver and Phoenix.
 
Facelifts: Why so Many Subpar Results?

This amazes me, and I just think that stars cannot see themselves for who they really are.
 



Behind a paywall. However,
I was able to find it on Twitter for free.
In essence the MWC is playing hardball and wants lots of $$$ from SDSU.

Stupid
San Diego State likely has plenty of ground to stand on, especially if there is a hard date of June 30th involved.
They could write 100 letters and all that should matter is the very last letter that is officially received before the June 30th deadline.
Not a lawyer, just playing one for fun, but the Mountain West loses everything with San Diego State leaving, so not sure why this is going this route.
