it's a fact
Higher football achievement by a university leads administrators and professors at other schools to raise their estimates of the university’s overall academic quality, says a team led by Sean E. Mulholland of Stonehill College. Specifically, a 301-vote increase in the Associated Press football poll final assessment of a university’s season has the same effect on outside administrators’ and faculty members’ opinions as a 20-point increase in the school’s entering students’ SAT scores. By improving its football record, a university effectively signals that it has improved its institutional quality, even if that’s not the case, the researchers suggest.

we're movin' on up... to the east side

just to get up that hill

ain't nothin' wrong with that

The inverse is probably true. Irregardless, bout time we started taking football srsly up in this bitch!

Another fact is that football and basketball are FREE PUB!! for schools and their incoming freshman class is usually higher after athletic success. This phenomena has been seen at many schools with notable examples being Boise State, TCU (Hi Tequilla!), George Mason and Virginia Commonwealth.topdawgnc said:People Believe That a School’s Football Success Implies Academic Quality
