Message: [QUOTE="VCE, post: 4065378, member: 9971"] I was shocked to see that this guy was a former banker at Credit Suisse. He would have been either an analyst pre MBA or an associate post MBA. That work product would never have gotten through the proofreading process that an associate would be responsible for given the number of typos, inconsistencies and flat out errors in the document. There are a couple of instances of referring to G5 as FCS. There are consecutive (or almost consecutive) slides where Tennessee has one of the lowest, and then one of the largest fanbases. Using the ivies as a benchmark makes some sense, but why include the UAA schools as well? It only serves to further clog up his charts. Maybe he has an NYU grad on staff. There’s one slide where he compares academics with football performance where he uses historical records for Ivy schools to put them in the top right corner. He has Navy as one of the top 2/3 FBS schools academically based upon the USNWR rating of “liberal arts” schools, above a school like Rice (national). While Navy is great, they aren’t sniffing anything close to the top 25 overall. It’s like giving Providence a number one rating for being the number one ranked “regional” university in the north. Or east. Or wherever they’re rated. There was a slide ranking research on the Y axis where he artificially moved all three service academies to near the top “just because”. Some of his slides include the new B12 adds in the metrics, some don’t. Many appear to exclude BYU, and at least one is very anti BYU. There’s a slide that has an X through Liberty, Hawaii and UCONN as potential additions. I think we can all understand the first two. I admire his ability to hoodwink whoever paid for this analysis.
