[quote=paramount]A list of a few academically competitive Schools with big time football programs:
1. UVA
2. UCB
3. UCLA
4. UND
5. Michigan
6. Stanford
7. BYU
8. Washington
9. Maryland
10. USC[/quote]
BTW, if you are going to extend the list to include BYU (#54 based on value of football team, #66 based on US News and World Report National Universities) and Maryland (#56 based on football and #57 based on academics) then you need to include the following programs also which also fall in the criteria.
(rank in value of football program/rank based on undergraduate program)
Northwestern (45, 12)
Ohio State (1,52)
Texas (2,52)
Penn State (10,47 tied)
Florida (7,47 tied)
Georgia (8,61)
Actually, out of the top 10 most valued football programs 7 are ranked in the top 61 by US News and World Report annual National University Undergrad rankings. I could go farther down the line but I think this pretty much sums up your ignorance and how much you’re full of it.
