    Insane that we've fallen that far. Flagship University of the 3rd Largest state in the US, top academics, etc. . .

    Sad we’re that low in the SEC but not surprising considering who’s been running the football program for the last 15 years or so. Academics have been the priority (and playing it safe financially), not football. Oh well. Maybe we can become a basketball school. :rolleyes:

    I am surprised ND is not number one honestly, but Texas makes sense for obvious reasons.

    If I read the correct news about renovations to The Swamp, seats will be cut back to a level that existed 35 years ago? That can't help our valuation or maintain the intimidation the current venue holds.

    I think the private boxes actually drive the price, my poor ass in a seat is inconsequential unless youre selling primo tix.
