Why such a bad rep?

<p>Thanks you just made my case for why schools with football do better than schools without. ;) Everyone likes to have a good time at a game.</p>

<p>Wait...</p>

<p>What about schools like Chicago, MIT, and Cal Tech which are clearly strong programs, but have awful sports?</p>

<p>to Sir UCLAri: I meant to direct that towards Voiceofreason's words of "The better looking you are, the more money you will make."</p>

<p>lol, my friend just got recruited for rowing at MIT. i heard their team's kinda sucky though... :-&lt;/p>

<p>Oh. Well...</p>

<p>Good looks don't hurt. I mean, let's be honest here: Most studies show that looks help. I mean, to this day I can't understand how MS succeeded with ads like this: <a href="http://blog.photos2view.com/files/images/bill_gates_advertisement_from_1985.preview.jpg%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://blog.photos2view.com/files/images/bill_gates_advertisement_from_1985.preview.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The horror! :p</p>

<p>Jason dude that is a fact, I didn't make it up. Look it up on google or something.</p>

<p>UCLAri they are nerd schools like UCSD. I'm only talking about the normal UC kid here. My point is UCSD would be as in demand as UCLA and Cal if it had football. The academics are not the problem, the atmosphere is. UCSD will stay #3 for that reason. Football just makes a school better. You can't argue that one dude.</p>

<p>Hahaha UCLAri I'm still LMAO. That one was so funny it hurt dude.</p>

<p>Y'know, I really don't know that football would help UCSD. I think that plenty of programs like Cornell, who even have football programs, end up getting the "nerd" title affixed to them.</p>

<p>But a good football program usually doesn't hurt, that's for sure.</p>

<p>UCLAri: I'll give that a nice fat LOL.</p>

<p>Voiceofreason: It is common, but it is not a fact. If you believe otherwise, go ahead and keep your opinion. Good luck and have fun with it.</p>

<p>that is so insanely smoking hawt. but i seriously doubt that MIT would increase its popularity with the addition of a football team.</p>

<p>There's an even better one with Gates trying vainly to look sultry with a computer by him.</p>

<p>It's so 80s it hurts.</p>

<p>EDIT: I FOUND IT!</p>

<p>my..eyes.... they burn</p>

<p>OK Jason dude you forced me into it
<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/Careers/07/08/looks/index.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/Careers/07/08/looks/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>^ahahah. damnit man! <em>cries</em></p>

<p>Imagine how rich Gates would be if he were good looking.</p>

<p>Good Lord. He'd be emperor of the world!</p>

<p>wait, i thought he was?</p>

<p>of course he is. he could have ended american's war with his windows 95 if he wanted to.</p>

<p>He probably thinks so.</p>

<p>Besides, he seems to have given up his throne to Steve Ballmer. Ballmer, for those of you who know, makes Gates look like Brad Pitt.</p>

<p>Case in point.</p>

<p>oh my.. that guy's on pcp isn't he. ^</p>

<p>ah.. should i laugh? or cry?</p>
