ACC threw the academic thing out of the window when it invited Louisville community College vs. UConn.
I believe somewhere between 12 to 13 percent of Penn State's research expenditures are non-peer reviewed ag dollars. If true, it would probably be fair to back that out when comparing them to non-ag schools.
If your professors are engaged in research, your kids are learning from people on the cutting edge of their discipline. Whereas someone with a 4/4 load is teaching them what he/she learned for their doctorate.
Yeah. That's the primary benefit cited, and I don't completely dismiss the proposition. But my admittedly anecdotal observations of four research universities (Florida State, Penn State, Virginia Tech and UConn) is that this benefit is exaggerated.
We simply have a different view of what goes on inside. At my AAU school, you can't have non-tenured faculty teach the core classes, and almost everyone in the big research departments engages in research. I know that teaching is limited for the researchers, rightly so. But this is why you have overflow classes at many of these universities.
To be fair that airport terminal is terrible so any improvement would be better than what it is now
Why are you bad mouthing the best community college in the nation.

that makes sense, you can definitely tell that it wasn’t designed for all the new security crap

I would say the national pols and the Supreme Court decision killed football as we know it. We are moving toward pay for play and Texas and Oklahoma know that the SEC has a huge advantage in recruiting over all other conferences. Pretty soon the SEC will look at others the way the NFL looked at the USFL. Now, things may change. If USC, UCLA and maybe Notre Dame join the B1G, I'd revise what I just said. But then the SEC could just reup with Clemson and Florida St.Keeler: Texas, Oklahoma killed college football as we know it. Now CU Buffs might be wise to follow Nebraska’s lead and call Big Ten.

When you bring up the premise of the CU Buffs exploring a move to, say, the Big Ten, you expect Gary Barnett to laugh you off. Only he doesn’t. At all.
Lost me at the 13th word…
I don’t think so. Oh before the transition to a streaming model is fully realized the Big Ten will have realized probably 20 to 30 years worth of a revenue stream based upon being in the first tier in the NYC DMA. That’s a ton of money and certainly justifies bringing Rutgers into the fold. If at some future time Connecticut makes sense, we can always be added then.
I guess I’m in the minority but I would like this. Kind of like going back to the big East. Play schools that are regional opponents that we care to beat. Also there’s a realistic path to being one of the best teams in the conference. If a power conference is out this to me would definitely be a good option.
These are the teams we are going to play regardless. The Super Conferences are not going to have ANY non-conference games.
Disagree - they'll have some because they will all want to pad their schedule for "easy" W's. And, we could do some horse trading: men's and women's bball games for football games.
So your position is you would rather be someone’s easy W to pad their stats than to play and try to win against teams the fan base cares about beating?
