A better question may be would you trade being #1 in football for being dead last/in danger of being shut down academically.

There's not a lot of difference in the vast majority of schools academically.

Too easy.. Football. People that have to go to elite academic schools to make a nice living are doing it all wrong.

People buy tickets and spend money on football as well as spend time discussing football on firums such as thins one so the question has already been answered.

I'd ultimately choose to do what one of my childhood friends did. He got his undergrad from Vanderbilt and his MBA from Virginia and to this day is still a die hard "sidewalk" Bama fan.

Lol at the lack of Ole Miss fans in here.
I think it depends more on who you are and your field really. Myself for example, I would much rather be number 1 in footballn pending the fact that I already have a family business lined up. So I can get my Construction Management from any half dick school and it won't hurt, I chose LSU because that was predestined from birth. Im never going to move out of Baton Rouge(because I love it) so I'm going to be dealing with LSU fans in the plants for the rest of my life. Like someone said the network can take you really far....and having tickets for all the customers .
For me i think getting Crunk and watching good football has more payoff anyway.
How prestiges a school is I think only matters to the individual.

My school is a private school ranked very high academically. No football team though. So academics. I cheer for UF so for them, football. I am thinking of getting my Masters at UF though so this may change

Football. An English major from Princeton is still an English major and a mechanical engineering major from Arkansas is still a mechanical engineering major. Education is what you make of it.
