Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 750797, member: 652"] Obviously we would all advice our family to attend SU if they could, but I was thinking which schools each conference would you advice them to attend if they could. Combining academics college sports, and your personal preferences i.e. weather, distance this is how I would advice my relative. ACC- Win-Virginia. Elite public school education and decent sports while they don't have Duke basketball or Florida State football my relative would be getting a good education and would enjoy 4 years in Charlottesville, and would enjoy sports year round from Football, Basketball, Lacrosse and Baseball Place- Miami(Fl) Good academics, good football, decent basketball, unbelievable location in Coral Gables which isn't far from South Beach. Show-North Carolina. I live in NC and UNC is a great state school I just have it below UVA, but you would get elite basketball for 4 years and decent football. The academics are solid and you would live in Chapel Hill for 4 years. B1G Win- Michigan- Elite public school education like UVA, and you would get elite Football, and decent Basketball for 4 years. Place- Northwestern- good academics, get to live in Chicago for 4 years. Also, you get decent Football, and get to complain each March when you never make the NCAA Tournament. Show- Maryland. This one was tough I mean obviously Rutgers was right their, but I couldn't find a 3rd B1G easily. Maryland has good academics, decent basketball, good lacrosse, and you basically be a stone's throw away from Washington D.C. for 4 years. SEC Win- Florida- The academics are good at UF. You are getting elite Football and elite Basketball for 4 years. I don't know the weather in Gainesville year round, but being close to Jacksonville I guess its not elite, but your living in Florida. Place- Vanderbilt- Elite academics in the South. Nashville would be a great place to spend 4 years of my college years in. Vandy has decent basketball and mediocre football. Show- Texas A&M. Good academics and Football is king in Texas. College Station is a good college town as I visited the Bush Grad School when I was looking at law schools. Pac-12 Win-Southern California- good education, your living 4 years in Southern California and you can't beat that weather. Elite Football and bad Basketball. Song Girls, and you get to live in So Cal. Place- Stanford- Best academics of any non-Ivy league school playing Division 1 sports. Football is improving rapidly and the basketball is decent for 4 years. Palo Alto is a good city to live in for 4 years. Show-Washington-Pac-12 has the best depth next to the ACC IMO, and I could have gone Cal, Arizona, UCLA here, but U-Dub is my choice. Good academics, Seattle is a very underrated great city to live in for 4 years, and you would get decent Football and Basketball. Big XII Win-Texas. Austin, TX is one of the top 5 cities in America where I would live. It would be a great city to live for 4 years while in college. Dominant Football and one Rick Barnes firing from dominant but you would get decent Basketball. Great academics and is easily my choice Place/Show No depth here I will just combine Oklahoma and Kansas. Both have good academics and dominate in one sport Oklahoma Football and Kansas Basketball. What does everyone else have? [/QUOTE]
