The reaction by PSU students to these sanctions is proof that non-student athletes DO

It should though, right? That's how they got recognized nationally. Many D1 schools whole prestige is based on their athletic teams. College sports is pretty much a promotion for the school.

Penn is known for it's academics as well but yeah the popularity comes in a major part from the Football.

Gonna have to fall back on those research studies for a while though :laugh:

Nor the better academics. Though USC has been on the rise academically.

And that rise came during the Pete Carrol era. Not to mention a basketball gym and other expansions. A lot of people eat off a good football program.

I went to a school where I didnt have to pay sh1t or owe sh1t later. I didnt even care about sports. Didnt even have a football team and the hoops team sucked. Brolic in baseball tho. Not that I cared. I can always just go to a SC gm if I want tho :ld:

As a child tho, I always wanted to go to Notre Dame :leon:

Exactly. That's how UConn became the best public university in New England. Off the back of the basketball teams. Enrollment and applications went through the roof.

thought this was common knowledge.

I wanna do my MBA in the states and the allegiance factor was actually one of the reasons. Mendoza, Anderson, Fisher, Marshall and McCoombs...here I come :mjpls:....:sadbron:

Stanford if i am bright enough off the strength of Nike +++ Acadaemics too. If Oregon had a good MBA program theyd be on my list too.

USC has cacs coming from all over the place and choosing to go there instead of UCLA. And its not becuz SC has the better Campus. Cuz they dont.

white folks from all over have been going to UCLA and USC for decades, cause they're in LA.... not cause of it's football program.

UCLA has the most prolific athletics program in the history of college sports... you do realize that right?


as of late, USC has had more publicity from high profile athletes and celebrities...but that doesn't change much

Hell, I chose St John's so I could go to some basketball games (funny cuz I'm not even a big Bball fan lol)

I just wanted to be in NY, but also to be at the biggest college in NY (at least private) So I wanted to go to the school with "the name"...thus, St John's fit perfectly...

Dumbazz, why u always poppin up when LA is mentioned tryin to out LA n1ggaz. Dont u live in Rverside :comeon:

My point was when u compare campus and location, UCLA should have a much bigger advantage than it does. SC has tradition in football. Thats the only thing that has kept white people flocking to that school, in that neighborhood for so long. And I've met people who had the option of going to.either and picked SC off the hype around their football team. Now SC is expanding and might even catch UCLA in academics soon. And a lot of this occured during Pete Carrol's era.

UCLA has a beautiful campus that isnt surrounded by crack whores and violence. If I had the choice, I would go there:yeshrug:

According to a former public relations professor of mine: " In the late 80s, both Penn State and Florida State lead the country in applicants."
So I most definitely believe that a strong athletic program plays a role in student enrollment. (FSU alum btw :jawalrus:)

dog, you live in downey :beli:.. your city is named after fukking fabric softener.

you're still wrong on that point tho. UCLA football has been the little brother to USC football since around the time DeShaun Foster and the Bruins upset Michigan...

SC didn't really start bossin again til the 2000's came along. many white kids who go to USC do so cause their parents went there, and so did their grandparents... USC's Alum system is fukking godly, and it has little to do with the football program

David Geffen throws millions at UCLA like it's nothing, they dont need a Football monster to attract students.. shyt is one of the top academic schools in the state,in LA,right off wilshire, and 15 minutes from the beach

as long as Asians is choosing UCLA over SC, UCLA's academic prestige will always be better than SC

We get it in in Downey n1gga:violent: and at least we in LA county :sitdown:

USC has tradition. And a lot of it comes from football. I dont even know what you're arguing or the point you're trying to make. Like always:snoop: Just arguing to argue.

UCLA would cake off their Med Program and facilities regardless of football. As proven by the fact that they've sucked sinced McNown bounced. If SC sucked for that long, I dont see as many people really wanting to go there. At least not compared to UCLA.
