Message: [QUOTE="NashvilleOrange, post: 974587, member: 2750"] Athletics really push the Syracuse brand up; Your average college educated person in the South knows of Syracuse but doesn't know of University of Rochester. I think that speaks to the large focus on college sports but it is a good advantage Syracuse can have in the minds of national applicants over schools like Lehigh, RPI, Northeastern, Case Western, etc. Also, it's insane that Penn State is ranked so far ahead of Syracuse; Why would someone go to a mammoth school, get taught by TAs and pay a premium out of state tuition when they can go to a better balanced private school? I like that they're aiming higher, being ranked alongside Clemson and behind University of Georgia is embarrassing and really pisses me off. [/QUOTE]
