Does UiF's athletic department pay to spray Gator-related graffiti all over Gainesville? Does it rebuild parks and tell the youth "we love you?"

The state population and applicant pool grow much faster than their enrollment. They barely have to try. Examine the criteria, if you're referring to US News. Wall Street Journal uses different metrics.

It’s funny that AR actually had national people talking about him as a top 10 pick….just tells you all you need to know when kids get evaluated by some of these guys.They’re the reason kids are leaving early thinking they’re about to go in the top couple rounds and make millions and end up going UFA and end up out of the NFL,Broke and without any skills or degree 2-3 years after bolting cause somebody didn’t have a clue what they were telling the kid..

We tore that up in here. None of us saw the justification for that given his performances to date.

You’re right. And the analysts have no skin in the game. They see the measurable, and if he comes from nowhere, has a great season and gets drafted high, they look like geniuses. If not, nobody cares and there was no risk to them. You see similar behavior in the nfl with general managers. Like taking trey lance or Daniel jones. If it works out, the GM looks like a genius. Go it doesn’t, they’ll do everything they can to prove they were right and not jive in when they should

You don't underatand. Miami- and only Miami- owes recruits everything.

Every other school is entitled to their picks, because they are automatically part of the community.

Or some other bull****.

The standard UM has to live up to is impossible by the local kids. I went to high school in GA (Gwinnett) and there was NOBODY doing anything negative toward UGA. They didn’t do anything for the community. They weren’t held to any standard. UGA hadn’t won anything meaningful 40 years before last season, but that didn’t matter. I’ve lived all over the country and no other school is scrutinized by the local people more than UM. I don’t get it. Has it always been like this, or did it change when the KKK schools set up shop and went on their UM bashing crusades? Even if UM built a new weight room at every local school, rebuilt every park, had designated liaisons for every area to help local families, paid for better peewee coaching, it still wouldn’t be enough. People like Moe would jump in and steer kids to the highest bidder.

UM does a lot for the community and I like the idea of them doing some things in the parks but they’re held to a standard no one else is exactly like you said. To some degree, I feel like the mentality in the area is such that regardless of what they do, it’ll never be enough, even in comparison to other schools that do or will do far less.

Yes. And this is what I have discussed in other places.

If it is "best school ACADEMICALLY", there is no reason for that to swing wildly each year, and only academic criteria should be used, not things like "percentage of students receiving student loans" and all that bullcrap.

Now, if US News wants to do a separate "best buys in universities", then they can use all those non-academic criteria.

****, it was just proven that COLUMBIA was cheating on the US News data, and they plummeted from 2nd to 18th in one cycle (based on accurate data).

To top it all off, UM isn't even fleecing their wallets via the legislature. It's insane.
