Tell that to Michigan and Stanford.

Only Stanford is truly serious about academics and they never threaten the powers of basketball and football. Stanford excels at non revenue sports.

Really? Michigan and Stanford are peer academic institutions. Also, while Stanford football isn't Alabama, it's no slouch, either. Andrew Luck, Christian McCaffrey, Bryce Love, etc.

Michigan is nowhere close to Stanford. They care too much about football and it requires graduating too many unprepared for college kids to keep it going .

Not serious academically .

Stanford might be ranked higher in many cases than Michigan, but to say Michigan isn't a serious academic institution is utterly absurd.

Michigan's average USNWR dept ranking is 9. They have 4 number 1 departments, and 17 top 10 departments.

You have no clue what you're talking about.

Pretty easy for dozens of people to graduate every year that came in with low SATs and work on their sport full time. Must be a very easy school with easy tests and grading.

I'll give your trolling attempt a B-.

Accenture, Google, Charles River Associates, Amazon, Epic, L.E.K., Morningstar, and Cook County government round out the list.

Any state school generally can cite those. Even UMBC can produce a Rhodes scholar...

Not on a list of the employers/schools that took the most students from the graduating class.

^^ not compatible

Chicago stopped playing big time sports because it rightly decided serious academics and high level athletic commitment in high revenue sports was compatible.

$80k a year so your kid can go be a consultant at mid-tier shop working with mostly public U peers. Worth it. Totally.

Chicago is so secretive about all their career and post-grad data because it stinks. Their kids get slaughtered due to low GPA (and being weird). That's also why they deploy schemes where they put grads on the payroll to inflate employed % (although they're not the only elite to do this). I wouldn't be surprised if there recent Chicago grads in this thread on the U payroll.

You really are getting very, very boring.
