Take a look at the WSJ's 2024 list of the country's best colleges.
UConn rates #46 overall. That superior academic conference, the ACC, sported the following rankings:
Syracuse #144 - all the bluster and BS didn't fool anybody.
LV #324 - it's in a different solar system.
Pitt #307 - challenging LV...
SMU #175 - better than many of the schools it will be subsidizing.
Cal-Berkeley #81 (another subsidizer) - Sadly, the whole area is rapidly becoming a S-hole.
There are three ACC schools ahead of us - Stanford #4 (another subsidizer), Duke #16, and ND #32 ("an only when it suits them" member). (We are tied with BC for rating points but it's listed at #45)
(If you want to make yourself mad, compare the AAU schools on the list to UConn.)
