<p>Fair enough. Football is definitely a bigger program to maintain than basketball, which probably is a factor. I think UNC will bend over backwards to keep Roy until he retires, seeing as people here are starting to see him as a “Dean Smith II”.</p>
<p>AFAIK, the university pays Roy about $300k a year, while Butch gets close to $2 million. Roy gets a lot of money from advertising and the like, though…</p>
<p>That’s his base salary. His package is worth $1.6 million. Butch is being paid $2 million, so you’re correct, Cuse, that Butch is being paid more.</p>
<p>

<p>Not true. The entire center swath of the nation is ACT dominant. Almost all of the highly selective colleges that are not on a coast will take just the ACT. They’ll also take just the SAT, so the really smart students will take both. I heard that the SAT was easier but somehow ended up doing better on the ACT, others do better on the SAT…it’s just more options to get a better score, but at the end of the day…don’t be fooled, because few students take the SAT compared to how many just take the ACT and get it done with.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There is not a college in the country that will not take the SAT…</p>
<p>osucowboys: why are you hating on UTD?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m sorry but what school do you go to where students "don’t really take the SAT?‘’</p>
<p>I mean back when I was a high school student in Texas, everyone I knew took the SAT, whereas only most of the people I knew took the ACT.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So, according to you, my class’ saludictorian, who could’ve very easily have gone to UT or Rice or probably a good portion of the Top 20, made an unwise decision in picking UTD?</p>
<p>I think she made a wise decision. She wanted to go to a school that’s close to home, has good hard science programs and gave her a good FA package (full scholarship + stipend).</p>
<p>Ya, most ppl in TX take the SAT</p>
<p>Alaska!</p>
<p>UA-Fairbanks: The “main” UA school. They’re known for rejecting everyone with a GPA over 2.5, and admitting everyone else. The campus is absolutely lame, with basically no trees and no fancy architecture. I think their Journalism is okay. Plus Fairbanks is like the ghetto of Alaska.</p>
<p>UA-Anchorage: Known for it’s ugly campus (But not as ugly as UA-Fairbanks) and mediocre student body. Lots of Asians.</p>
<p>Alaska-Pacific: Right next to UAA. The campus is a little better, as is the reputation. It’s small, but a lot of kids from my HS apply and go there.</p>
<p>Far North: A college that was apparently so unpopular and so lame that it closed in the middle of the school year and told all the students to go home.</p>
<p>UA-Southeast: Okay campus, located in the best part of Alaska, IMO. Juneau is a real cool city too. I think they have the state’s only vet med dept? Maybe?</p>
<p>…And it’s not in Alaska, but I might as well say the University of Washington, because more kids from my school go there than any college in Alaska. Most of te average/smart kids aim for it, and go to UAF when get rejected.</p>
<p>^ Wow, things must be different where you live. UAF is the only school in AK with respect here, light years above the others. UAA is a standing joke.</p>
<p>UAF hockey also>>>>>>>>>UAA hockey</p>
<p>I would still never go to any college in Alaska. I could probably handle UA-Southeast for a year just because I like Juneau, but UAA/UAF=hell, IMO.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, putting it mildly. And I think you mean either salutatorian or valedictorian, but not “saludictorian”.</p>
<p>ARIZONA UNIVERSITIES
THE TRUE GOOD AND BAD REPUTATIONS OF ARIZONA SCHOOLS</p>
<p>NORTHERN ARIZONA UNIVERSITY
GOOD: known for a really impressive police training and forest ranger departments and it has the best looking campus out of all the AZ schools
BAD: huge party school for many of the AZ students who would otherwise be going to a community college. Commonly known as Not A University or Non Academic University if known to anyone outside of arizona at all</p>
<p>ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY
GOOD: A growing honors college that is gathering prestige (however this may be simply because they have better PR then the U of A honors program). Also because the school is gigantic it used to have a lot of $ but with the budget cuts this is far from true now.
BAD: ASU unfortunately is the laughing stock of the academic world and it didnt help this reputation by not givin obama a honorary diploma (oops!). It is a huge party school for the mediocre and below students from AZ and a place to party for all the rich kids who couldnt get into a California state school. Known for STDs and 100% acceptance rate</p>
<p>UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA
GOOD: with out a doubt the best university in AZ. awesome business, medical, nursing, optical science schools and is gaining more recognition all the time. Many programs are ranked high and some even in the top 20. Grad schools are definitely more impressive and prestigous then the undergrad. Awesome basketball!
BAD: still has not reached the national acclaim that UVA and Berekly has but many claim it is on its way. Unfortunately still a huge party school and mostly just draws in all of the decent students from AZ and the stupid rich sorority girls from cali that couldnt get into their own state schools. Lost a ton of money with the budget cuts meaning huge re organizing and cuts of colleges</p>
<p>Florida:</p>
<p>Everyone seems to regard UF as the Harvard of the South. </p>
<p>FSU is alright.</p>
<p>Regionally people like UCF and USF but neither are really that good.</p>
<p>IUPUI is not a commuter college ,and is just as good as bloomington!!! I am pre-professional,and am getting great experience with 5 hospitals on campus. Please get your facts straight. (refer to page 16)</p>
<p>This is a great Facebook group that just got started that brutally lampoons schools in Oklahoma. It seems very similar to the one about Texas schools.</p>
<p>These guys are hilarious, I think it’s University of Tulsa dudes that put this together. My favorites are this:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Tulsa didn’t get bashed that hard.</p>
<p>Also, am I right in thinking that an Oklahoma liberal would be conservative anywhere else?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say that. I’m a Texas liberal and I’d say I’m just as liberal when I go anywhere else. Ann Richards and LBJ were from Texas. David Boren and Carl Alberts were from OK. Tom Coburn is from OK, and Ross Perot was from TX…those two guys aren’t liked by either party.</p>
<p>As for Tulsa…I don’t know how you could bash TU with an in-state stereotype other than nerd school, considering it’s the highest ranked college in Oklahoma.</p>
<p>What about Kentucky and Tennessee - anyone?</p>
