Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5713951, member: 628"] Yup. I love my alma mater dearly, and I think people put wayyy too much stock in the US News rankings as some kind of proof that the school's academics have "declined". However, SU has two massive draws, IMHO: (1) specific, highly-regarded schools (e.g. Newhouse), and (2) being one of just 2 big time sports schools in the northeast (along with Penn State). A lot of northeast kids want that big time college experience, and more and more are going south and west to get it. If SU fumbles away the rev share/NIL era, and it's football and men's hoops teams are irrelevant, its going to be extremely harmful. Paying SU's tuition to get a degree that's not from one of the acclaimed schools is lunacy, unless it's part of a broader experience. [/QUOTE]
