re: With the 2 new schools, whats the academic order in the SEC

Well I was waiting until they actually joined before giving them that honor.

That’s the worst tiered ranking I have ever seen. Kudos to you, moron.

I’ll take it Realistically - 1 TX 2 Vandy 3 UF & A&M 4 UGA & Mizzou 5 UT, UK, LSU, OM, OU, Bama 6 Ark, MSST, Auburn But even at the bottom those universities can have really good individual colleges and departments / niches. It’s hard to be an all around great university in every subject

This is the most accurate take based on my 20 years of being an academic. Let me say this though. There is a disconnect between academia and practitioners. I talk to practitioners in the field and mine them for real life stories that I take back to the classroom. It is the gold my students need. Practitioners don’t read academic journals. Those journals are the primary metric by which faculty and universities are valued in the academic world. There’s so much more to teach students about their journey into their respective fields than anything in a text book. I make it a point to teach these things also. In the end it is all about the student learning grit, how to finish when you are exhausted, how to find the info you need in your business and social network quickly, how to learn anything and not be intimidated by a learning challenge, how to consider others opinions and diversity of thought, how to take constructive criticism and ultimately how to make the sale. Nothing happens until you make the sale.
