Alabama is angling to be the next Pitt

I think Auburn is the next Pitt.

Disagree. Pitt has become PITT because it is located in a fun, urban city that has a lot to offer. Also, proximity to major urban areas like Philadelphia, NY and DC. Auburn is in the middle of nowhere. That will always be a big drawback to many people.

It's in a cute college town an hour and a half from Atlanta (Pittsburg is 7 hours from NY, btw). Not everyone wants to be in a city.

Well if it’s not in a city, it’s not the next Pitt. I nominate UMinn-Twin Cities.

the Alabama campus is amazing.

But still in Alabama …

Wisconsin Madison maybe

VCU. Not as good as Pitt, but a solid school

Alabama ("Roll Tide") and Auburn ("War Eagle") have catchy slogans like Pitt ("H2P" or "Hail to Pitt") so that definitely gives them an leg-up.

Wisconsin is a lot harder to get into now than Pitt.

Auburn Ranking is a whole tier lower than Pitt

“Cute college towns “ are in the eyes of the beholder. They also offer none of the career/ internship opportunities that urban areas do, let alone options for cultural experiences. Sorry, but I don’t see Auburn as anywhere close to this.

Pitt has always gotten large numbers from this area.

And you base this on?

Tim Cook (Apple), Jimmy Wales (Wikipedia) and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin went to Auburn. Pitt is a fine school, but Mr. Rogers and Joe Manganiello are at the top of Pitt’s “famous alumni” list. (On the acting side, Auburn has Octavia Spencer, which I’d take over Joe Mangianiello any day.)

But they are in the south and will never be able to overcome that.

As opposed to Western PA? Go 30 minutes outside of Pittsburg, and you’ll see as many confederate flags as anywhere in the south.

There is little reason for students to go 30 minutes out of Pittsburgh, however.
