AAC Media Contract details

Bennington is an elite finishing school. It stopped being a real college a long time ago. It became a school for kids who had nowhere else to go. When Bennington shut its doors for a year, everyone fled. When it reopened, it reopened as a glorified prep school. For many years, you couldn't find it in any of the rankings. I haven't checked recently.

It is number 95. Tied with St. Anselm's College. But why are we talking about small New England baccalaureate colleges?

I mentioned schools that were shuttered, some temporarily, some permanently. More are coming.

Cincinnati has top 50 departments in several of its schools and it also has a research profile that is very high.

Where do you people get this stuff? In a highly populated state like Ohio, it's the second biggest school.

I was just setting the record straight on Cincinnati being a commuter school and you can stop hyping what a great school it is, there are probably 10 schools just in the state of Ohio which are better.

You're out of your mind.

Tapping out instead of admitting you're wrong, would expect nothing less!

Not going to order them but Kenyon, Oberlin, Case Western, Denison, OSU, Miami, Xavier, and Dayton are all better. There may be others.

We have fans of UConn defending the honor of a school like Cincy and a loser conference like the AAC. It's almost like we were never a member of the best conference in the country.

So, in a discussion of public schools similar to UConn (see original post) you bring up a bunch of small to midsize Catholic and liberal arts schools, and 2 publics, 4 of which aren't better than Cincy.

Cincy is a research university with many high ranked programs. Not so podunk mid-level private college struggling to survive.

By the way, where are your 10?

This is pathetic even for you. The thread turned into talks of what's best for UConn, the AAC or the Big East. We talked about big commuter schools like Cincinnati and USF small private schools like SMU, Tulane, Seton Hall, Butler, Nova etc. All the schools in the conferences were talked about...I called you out on being inaccurate on Cincinnati and now you move the goalposts.

It was enough when people were trying to overhype the basketball programs in our conference but you over hyping the schools and now pretending we are only talking about large public schools is pathetic but it's what you do. Double and triple down on stupid and never concede when you're wrong.

Lastly I said there are probably 10 schools in the state of Ohio who are better than Cincinnati, I named 8 off the top of my head.

It's mostly just upstater and he's a crazy person.

If you are talking about sports...as in a sports conference...as in football, basketball, baseball...those kind of things....

down here, anyway, it would be laughable to be touting Oberlin, Case Western, Dayton, et al over Cincinnati in a sports conference.

I don't have any investment in this foolishness...just really perplexed.
