Whether UM is a good school or where it ranks versus other like schools of various similarities really doesn’t matter. The simple fact exists that independent of whether it’s student body is smart or whatever the hell else you want to call them, the football players are no smarter and take no better majors than football players that go to any other institution. They want to parade around and act like their dozens of football players in a Kinesiology major are Rhodes Scholars when they are really just as retarded as those pretending that they aren’t.
The quote says they compete with the blue bloods athletically. They don’t. Unless simply playing against one is all it takes to qualify. The quote also makes it sound as if they don’t consider themselves a blue blood. No argument there.
The quote says they compete with academically with the blue blood academic schools. Whether it’s true or not, the football players aren’t part of that, that’s for damn sure.
And the players they recruit damn sure aren’t athletically on the Alabama and Clemson level. Not the ones that sign, at least. Any school can say “hey Mr. 5 star all-American, we’d like for you to play for us,” then have the recruit go sign with Alabama and say you recruited the same guy. And they want to act like they are smart all the while pretending that that really matters? If you think that means anything, you’re a fucking idiot.
“That stud from NJ that just signed with Alabama? We offered him a scholarship!”
“Oh. So did Rutgers...”
