[quote=deadzone] But to suggest there is any correlation between academics and athletics is misguided.[/quote]

Maybe not a 1:1 correlation, but in my list these schools (for the most part) happen to have poor academics but prefer big investments in football. And that’s really all they’re known for – they make no other significant contributions.

LSU and Auburn for example have close to 90% acceptance rates. U of Phoenix has a lower acceptance rate!
