"Bradley runs a clean program, never breaks rules, and finishes in the middle of the MVC"

This is where I voted because for me I'd rather BU have a brand of great academics over great athletics any day and no reason to muddy my degree over sports. If winning national championships at any cost enhanced my degree from BU then perhaps I'd think it over.

I think most people overplay the impact of athletic cheating on the perception of alumni's scholastic achievements at a school....Do you really think non revenue sports alumni from USC, Okla, FSU, Ky, Kansas, Auburn etc feel their scholastic achievements are muddied, or that they are disadvantaged in their careers?

If a school was engaged in scholastic/academic improprieties outside an athletic dept, definitely....

Do you really think of scholastics when you think of those schools? The only school in recent memory that had any scholastic weight behind it and had some issues is Michigan.

USC has pretty darn good academics...

26th Overall in the country according to US News

Top 20 programs in Law, Undergrad Business, MBA, and Engineering...

I'd call that scholastic weight!

Different question......

FWIW, given the size of these schools vs BU, I would have to say they all have the same number, or more, of graduates with similarly impressive academic credentials as BU does...Nothin against BU's academic rep BTW...

I don't think top scholars from the schools I quoted, with academic achievements similar to yours at BU, would feel their accomplishments at their schools, or their community/professional standings, were denigrated by their Athletic Depts' shenanigans...I would venture to guess many of the top students from these schools don't pay much attention to the sports programs at their schools at all....
