Moving on… Tulane is now ranked in the 70s for both undergrad and law, 80s for graduate business, and unranked (by choice) for medicine. Any thoughts? My thoughts are that schools like Tulane and WashU have long catered to the children of high earners/rich people by offering “merit” scholarships to...

Well done. Graff, Guerry, Corey and players are featured in this one. Behind the scenes of the first two games are covered.

Lucky they have the PAC-12 property with Colorado this last time.

Sad news. Was really a good guy that everyone really liked. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

No doubt, the value vs cost has become the King Kong metric--a metric that has long been emphasized in many other university rankings by publications like Forbes and the WSJ, where Tulane has not fared well. I also noticed that the private schools that didn't get docked were the ones with endowment...

So true. Even academically. I just noticed that we dropped to #73 in the USN&WR rankings, as did many private schools. But it can't help us that we are now conferenced with a bunch of academic alley cats. Mini threadjack here. The USN&WR methodology had significant changes this year, includ...
