I find it fascinating that what was intended as an optimistic thread on our athletic future has become a veritable Rorschach test on the state of higher education. While there have been interesting points made on both sides of arguments, bold predictions of the demise of the four year college model are simply hyperbolic. College can be improved for sure and the costs need to be better managed, but it’s still the best laboratory for educational and personal growth. On-line and commuter schools may be less costly and more vocationally focused, but what they cannot replace are all the life changing and memorable growth experiences of an on-campus quadrennial at dear old alma mater. That model isn’t going away.
As for irrational positions, I happily plead guilty to often predicting a brighter outcome for our teams on the field of battle and even chuckle at being called Nosticalodamus, but comments like “Herbst must go” and “ I graduated and don’t really care about academic rankings”, are not only quaintly uninformed, they’re dumb and dumber.
