Some kind of interactive program based on lists of prominent alumni. It's not exactly hard science, but it's fun........and we do well.

I was surprised, Kent State came out ahead of everyone but ohio state with 42.8.


Edit-in the second list.

Case Western Reserve University - 23.1
I didn't know Don Shula went there. Shows how influential the school was to me.

Edit - According to Don Shula's page on wikipedia, he did not go to Case. He went to John Carroll.
Edit Again - Ok, he got his Master's from Case. Nevermind.

Wait, LSU alumni are 1.17 times more influential than Georgetown alumni (it really is trying to measure influence of alumni, not the university itself) because of Shaq? Yeah, President Clinton's (i.e. Georgetown alumni) impact on the world would be negated by Shaq.

I see no reason to keep reading.

Just think how high they would have been if your negative influence wasn't factored in!

Well... damn. That's a bit unfair. I mean, am I really as negative as being on the outskirts of Detroit and sitting next to the Whore Up North?!
