    Lacrosse is for the poor/unskilled kids that couldn't cut it on the ice
    From the years I covered lacrosse on the Eastside, those kids by and large were not poor
    Just look at the schools that excel at Lacrosse.

    Duke, ND, a bunch of Ivies. I'd say without reservation* that it's not a poor kid's sport.











    *@Swaye's people excepted, obviously
    without question, it is not.

    I go with US News & World Report. People take shots at it, but other rankings put too much emphasis one or two things and spits out results that are hard to justify unless all you care about is one of those things. For example, Arizona has a much larger research budget than Georgetown, and always will, but the student body at Georgetown is several cuts above the student body at Arizona, and always will be. So the World rankings, which rely on that measure very heavily were meaningless to me when choosing where my kids would go to school. Here is the US News ranking of the P12, national university category:

    Stanford #3
    Cal #20
    UCLA #20
    USC #25
    UW #55
    Colorado #97
    Arizona #105
    Oregon #105
    Utah #105
    ASU #121
    OSU #151
    WSU #212

    I'd say that's about right, and yes, including as it relates to Oregon. I begrudgingly think they under-rank ASU and WSU, but I also don't care.

    The location of this discussion is everything about the point of view on Oregon, but if you actually go look at their CDS numbers, it's consistent with this at least insofar as the quality of students is concerned, which to me is the main thing in choosing where you go to undergrad. They do have their areas in which they excel and they are only starting to see the fruits of having their own independent board of trustees. They raised almost $700 million last year alone. You won't find this anywhere, but there has been some rumblings about re-associating OHSU with UofO again. That would help them in a number of ways. I would not sleep on them.

    Btw,

    Ohio State #49
    Miami #55

    I wouldn't put Miami ahead of Washington because Washington is better at more things than Miami (as it is relative to Oregon). But Miami has been a harder school to get into for a long time. I don't know about today, but historically it has been.

    aa, cal too high.

    The unequal revenue share being discussed, not by WV retards, is Oregon and Washington getting more money with Utah also having their hand out.

    New flash: UW and UO don't want anyone besides themselves to get higher revenue share.

    That’s because that is factual

    This the dumbest thing thing I’ve ever heard which makes it the most likely thing Jen will agree to and the Pac12 will do.
