However I seriously doubt that historical records would show our football players majoring in Architecture, Engineering and pre-med at any higher rate than they are now. And while I agree the introduction of the film and theater school has helped please dont imply that this is the only non-engineering/arch/pre-med degree available with a softer academic slant. Also the business school has always been a very highly ranked program, and while it is noteworthy that it is now #1 (didnt know that), it has always been top 10 even as far back as 30 years ago. This is nothing new that it could have been used as a recruiting tool.

I applaud you however for acknowledging that the continued emphasis by so many posters that we can't compete because of academics is a weak excuse.

Well done.
