    Central has an important place in the cfb ecosystem in this state. If you are a good high school player and don't fit the D-1 profile you head to Ellensburg. This is also the place where washed up Huskie and Koog players have gone in the past for that last year of eligibility. Nearly the entire team is made of players from this state, whereas the D-1 teams have typically around 15%. There is no other D2 school, so if you still want to play college football in this state the only recourse is D3 schools, and then you have to pay around 50 grand a year for tuition (although PLU might be worth it). So Central winds up attracting some good talent.

    PLU is unique in their approach, really coming closest to those kind of high ideals Coach Willingham was always spouting off about. PLU more or less delivers. They celebrate even when they lose.

    If you're paying for your education on your own dime, and you can get in somewhere decent, you should do that. PLU is like the 4th or 5th best DIII school in Washington academically. Throw in the Oregon DIII schools (including Linfield, which actually wins and shit) and it's like 10th.

    although I regard most college rankings as bullshit, those numbers sound very strange and not compatible with its reputation. My google of PLU showed it was doing just fine. Anyway, if you just take hard classes and work hard it doesn't make a flying fuck where you go to school in general, so long as the professors are within the realm of decent. It's always been the effort you put in anyway, mostly.

    Value of going to PLU in the late 90's when it was $19k/year and you could win a national championship in football? Decent.

    Value of going to PLU now when it's $50k/year and you can't win a national championship in football? Dogshit.

    Trust me...I know what I'm talking about on this subject.
