Which SEC school is most like your school and why? by WildTchoupitoulas

quote:
With the exception of having good academics, solvency, and (blah, blah, blah), LSU is more like A&M.

I'm going to have to agree with this. Almost Jekyll and Hydes of one another.
As far as football accomplishments, LSU, UGA and AU are extremely close.

I'm going to have to disagree with this. The State budge issues only affect 11% of LSU's total funding.
There are no 'solvency' issues. That is fricking preposterous.
As far as "good academics", the last time I checked, LSU is a Tier 1 university with a Top 30 Quality Thrust ('ForeverLSU' Campaign) and several Top 5, Top 20, and Top 50 departments and curricula. It's also one of the top research institutions on this planet.
How TF does a univeristy not have good 'academics'?? It's a UNIVERSITY. LSU has PhD professors teaching the same courses that all campuses across the country offer.


LSU's admissions standards have risen dramatically in the last 2 decades, admissions scores and gpa's are climbing every year.
