[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think JHU has a great brand among intellectual people. What it’s missing is sports. Lacrosse doesn’t have the same wide recognition as football or basketball. [/quote] Hopkins has had tons of success in D3 swimming, baseball and football among others. There are a large number of student athletes. If you want a nationally ranked football program, obviously better to go to USC or Michigan.[/quote] I think that schools need a nationally/regionally ranked popular sport (football, basketball) to have broad name recognition with the public. I think the public at large forms opinions of schools with their sports reputation as the leading factor. Which of course is irrelevant to the educational caliber of a school. Sad but true, in my experience. Among people who have looked at colleges and have a sense of their prestige, people know that JHU is a highly ranked school. [/quote]
