Less spirit
Plenty of spirit with Wake or Duke Basketball, and football lately for both. Plus what idiot picks a school with big sports over a these better academic schools? The point of college is education and there is school spirit at Wake Duke Vanderbilt for sure, or UVA or UNC, which at least do not lower the academic bar as muchs UGA and South Carolina or Auburn.
Have you ever been to a UGA, SC or Auburn football game? It’s not even close to the same experience as Wake/Duke. Their honors colleges are the real deal. Try to keep up.

It doesn’t seem like there are that many schools that fit the bill other than Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, maybe Clemson, etc... Would an honors program (assuming he could get in!) at a school like USC or UGA be an option to consider? I feel like he needs to be more open to schools further north as Villanova, BC, etc… would be great fits (again, assuming he could get in!). Thanks in advance!
If you didn't need south, Pitt would fit the bill. Has a great honors program (our child is in it - came with merit $$), campus in the city, and tons of school spirit. Is a D1 school, football games in the same stadium as the Steelers play, volleyball and soccer are tips in the country, football and basketball are heartbreakers - you think they'll have a great year and then, nope. But the Oakland Zoo (the student section) is loud and raucous
