From that well-respected sports publication the Wall Street Journal:
Gotta say though...they nailed KU

quote:
The WSJ Sports Grid of Shame is back after a one-year pandemic hiatus to help solve an always complex equation: How good your team is on the field versus how badly it behaves off it.
The horizontal axis shows how good each Power Five team should be on game days in 2021, calculated from a composite of objective rankings and subjective opinions of college football insiders. The further to the right a team appears, the more games it is expected to win.
The vertical axis is the “shame meter.” It’s a spicy indicator of how closely your team follows the rules, how athletes are doing in the classroom, how much the university subsidizes athletics at the expense of the general student body and whether students are excited enough to attend games.

Alabama in the upper right box, the way it should be

Zero U above the horizontal is laughable.

Proud to support an admirable football program that does it the right way.

Is there any particular reason why Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, and Florida are all more “admirable” than UGA considering that they have all been put on probation since the last time UGA was put on probation, and UGA hasn’t had any major academic scandals regarding its players recently, nor do their players perform worse academically compared to those schools?
Seems like the vertical axis is totally arbitrary, imo.

Bama leading the SEC again.

Absoute Garbage.
1-UGA as a school spends zero dollars on sports as a cost to the student body, it's the other way around, the athletic department give millions to the general fund of the school.
2-Every ticket is sold out to every game and the fans travel and take over other stadiums.
Yet these clowns have UGA in the bottom quartile of this metric.

Clockwise, you have the Nick Saban quadrant, the Larry Coker quadrant, the Jeremy Pruitt quadrant, and the David Cutcliffe quadrant.

Ole Miss, Auburn, TX, and Miami... all rated WAY above UGA in the admirable axis.
Jeez.
There's clickbait, then there's clickbait. You really gotta hand it to the WSJ's crack team of sports journalists.

The fact that they put the whorns that high on the “Admirable” scale tells me all I need to know.

Iowa State? Really?

There’s a lot of puppy tears in here. Maybe stop spending so much time being offended, and work on not being so shameful.

I have no problems with LSU being ranked where it is. My issue is with schools like Ole Miss being considered "admirable". They were on probation within the last 4 years and Lane Kiffin is their coach!
And, Texas shouldn't be anywhere close to admirable status with how they have treated members of the Big 12 for decades.
