FIFYWell, now that Mark Wahlberg is going to make a movie about Caron Butler, we have 2 movies they can show on the B12N.
Caron's movie and He Got Game w/ Ray Allen aka Jesus Shuttlesworth.
UConn movie night on the B12N.

Not all. BC Law and education are considered by most to be better than BU's programs. BU's strength is in the sciences.
The insane thing, BC, BC, and Northeastern looked and felt like commuter schools up until the early 80's and academically overshadowed by Harvard. BC's took the attention that Flutie gave BC and ran it it in the mid 80's. John Siber transformed BU in the late 80's changing it from a private urban university to a leading private research university along the lines of NYU that culminated with achieving AAU status in 2012 (its low point was dropping football in 1997. Northeastern barely had an dorms in the early '90's.

In my book, BC is classified as a piece of *!No, you're wrong. BC is classified as a university. The name hasn't changed from when they weren't because Boston University is already a thing. You want to go out on an island like this, then you do you, but acting like Swofford misspoke when he accurately characterized BC as a university is just plain wrong, and you should probably bow out of this argument.
I am with you, brother... COM '86While I'll gladly sit back and watch you all talk about how my alma mater is a better academic school than our archrival (in reality, they prioritize very different segments of academia so comparisons between the two are a bit apples/oranges), this is a non-key tweets thread....
BU has strength everywhere over BC except maybe a couple of the professional schools. Law and Business go to BC. Medicine and Communications to BU. But BU is stronger in both the sciences and in the Social Sciences, Humanities, Liberal Arts, Arts.
Ah, the Boneyard, where we can debate which Boston school has better academics. US News has BU/Questrom at #43 and BC/Carroll at #45 while Forbes has BU at #48 and BC is not ranked. From informal discussions, BU's business school is strong in management and operations while BC is stronger in accounting. When I was looking for a P/T MBA program in the early 2000's, I choose BU as Harvard and MIT/Sloan do not have P/T MBA programs and BU was considered the second best P/T program in the Boston area behind Babson and as I lived in Brookline, I had no interest in driving out to Wellesley at rush hour 2 to 3 days a week.
Lol. Mh ver on Hiatus
This will be my last set of tweets for at least a month. Getting threatened with legal action from the B10 conference
They should threaten legal action against flugempire too with his fake Big Ten Man (BTM) that he uses.

From an academic viewpoint, BC's admissions rate (undergrad) is lower and its incoming freshman scores are higher than BU. BC's law, nursing and education program are better than BU's. BC also gets a bump in the numbers because it becomes 'the' school to go to for many of the old-school catholic families and catholic HS's in the region (BC High, Catholic Memorial, St. John's, Xavier, Madlen Catholic, etc.). BU has a medical, engineering, and bunch of other STEM oriented programs that BC does not have. BU's communications school is also very well respected. BU's business school, which I went to for my MBA part-time, is better than BC. BU also draws kids who want an urban school (like NYC) while BC has more of a campus like setting. They are both as expensive as heck. Thus, from an academic standpoint, its a wash as they are two somewhat different animals. BU is more like Northeastern, another big urban STEM school, while BC is closer to Holy Cross as both lean liberal arts.

I guess free information isn't free after all
I have a friend who sent multiple FOIA's to B10 offices and UNC and UVA.
A week later I get a letter from an Attorney on retainer from the conf nicely threatening me to stop talking about them on Twitter
For real?
So I am enlisting a couple of friends who are attorneys and they advised me to stop talking about it for at least 30 days.
I made the mistake of not hiding my identity very well in the beginning. Too many know my real name/Facebook/email.
I shall return!
