“The OP didn’t mention if he has cost constraints and I just wanted to make the point that, in most cases including Michigan, going to an OOS school with stellar academics and big sports is expensive.”
It all depends. You can go to UVA (Jefferson Scholar) or UNC (Morehead Scholar) for free if you get one of those VERY competitive scholarships. Lots of OOS kids these days are flocking to Alabama or Ole Miss or Oklahoma at big tuition discounts and attending their Honors Colleges.
There’s many many factors that feed into a college decision – cost, academics, admissibility, programs of study, weather, food, location, size, community, greek life, etc. etc. etc. etc. The athletic program is just one more variable that you can put into the search parameters.
