I'm another person who hated the CTCL boosterism, but also hates UVA boosters too.

CTCL boosters drive me crazy and I’m indifferent to UVA haha

Georgetown not being in the T20

This pretty much sums up the state of DCUM. Feel free to add more

WashU...I swear that school was the subject of no less than five threads last week.

Because of their dramatic increase in endowment? It's definitely worthy of discussing but it certainly triggered a sect of endowment worshippers on DCUM who have absolutely zero clue on how endowments are supposed to work.
