[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][To put in a sports-themed perspective, they are kind of like UConn basketball. The blue bloods don't want to acknowledge them because they are too recent. The UConn fans point to the championships and say, "this isn't the 1970's anymore". NEU boosters point to the high SAT scores, selectivity, engineering and comp sci recruitment, grad school outcomes, and say we go toe to toe with the best and say "this isn't the 1970's".[/quote] Terrible analogy. UConn has won multiple championships on both the men's and women's side. They are the undisputed best of the best, #1 in the entire country. Simply being a good school with high SAT scores, selectivity, etc. is nowhere near that. Such a false equivalence.[/quote]
