On the flip side Alabama has the highest non-Mississippi population of African Americans, so then you get into a discussion of how you define "diverse" in a public state university.

Not to mention I'm almost positive Hispanics are included in the white population for Alabama in that breakout.

I have an accounting degree from LSU

My career and earnings would have been no different if I went to Harvard, Vandy, etc etc


I started in Big 4 which is what I would have done from any of those other schools. For certain degrees, the school makes ZERO difference.

I distinctly remember passing a billboard en route to 30A several years back advertising a poultry science degree.

We went to Top 5-10 universities nationally for our major pride. We're basically elite. All these poors can frick off.

Don’t stress over it. We know y’all are a great school. These rankings are dumb.

To me it should be about what you spend for your education vs earnings made. Everything else is window dressing.

I'm not a tax man (at all) and I work audits with mostly NFPs, so my busy time is late July-September. Just "normal" busy right now.

My boss in the Air Force was a Ohio State fan so I did my best to completely block out any of their BS. I guess I missed this in the process, but I'm up to speed now.

I've found that Tenners favor whatever poll goes their way. How do you figure that the WSJ is better at ranking universities than US News? What's your rationale for making that statement?

At least Cardale Jones was able to make fun of himself for that tweet. When he graduated, he said something like "I finally decided to play school after all".
