Scott Stricklin sabotaged Gator football for the sake of building stadiums and academics and we’re not even good at school anymore

UF is an excellent school.

These lists change so much year to year
I’m surprised Alabama and Tennessee didn’t land on the top 30 southern law school list. Both have excellent law schools. Back when I was taking the LSAT (~16 years ago) both were top 40ish nationally with Alabama slightly ahead of Tennessee.

How about ranking the Texas schools in terms passing the bar exam on the first try?
Hint:
Law degree not worth anything if you can't pass the bar.
