re: A Kentucky Sports Radio reporter writes about his trip to Mizzou for the game.

Mizzou was admitted for two reasons, TV sets and academics. Both Mizzou and TAMU are AAU academic institutions and outside of Vanderbilt the academic reputation of the SEC is a joke. Florida is an AAU school but they are in decline. A degree from the rest of the SEC schools is viewed by everyone else as a Grade 13 diploma. Just an extension of high school.

According to the Chronicle of Higher Education rankings articles, Florida is not in decline and ranks higher than Missouri in just about every academic metric. BTW, Alabama ranks higher than Missouri in several and Georgia ranks higher is a few.
