Why is a UCONN fan trying to dick swing an academic or sport comparison versus Tulane in this thread? lol. You're going to lose at both this season/school year.

Take it on the chin and rage at your AD. Tulanians had to do it from 1998 to 2017 before it finally worked. And go figure, one of the worst things to ever happen to Tulane athletics (Scott Cowen) has UCONN ties.

Did you ever have a terrible girlfriend who dumped you?

We are only part terrible. We shave our right leg (men's bball) and left leg (women's bball) regularly, but that c00chie known as football is most definitely a nasty bush!

HAHHAHAHA...Now if your trying to compete with Bama and some of the SEC schools sure this can be an excuse for a school like ND or Michigan or Stanford or maybe even a Texas.

If your just trying to be a mid-tier D1 program haahahahahhahahahahahaha.

I don't even consider Uconn a smart school.

This is pure gold.

Shut it down. Move to the Big East and enjoy basketball, but stop with The American held you back in sports and that your academic standards are hurting you. hahahhah

Is that really what happened. Is UConn leaving affecting you that personally?

Am I the one still swinging it, or is that you? Here is a last swing for you if we can't agree to zip them back in just yet. The reality is that in academics, UConn is at least "near" Tulane's league. In sports, Tulane is nowhere near UConn's league. 6 decent football games in a single season does not an athletic juggernaut make. I guess that is why you specified "this season/school year" versus in general. What has Tulane ever accomplished in basketball or football in the modern era? So, can we agree to zip them back in now and stop this senseless measuring?

We have no need to "rage at our AD" - we wanted to focus more on basketball again and reduce travel/expenses are doing just that. Seems simple enough to me.

The other clown said it was a BC author (a far superior school to UConn) with a hit piece. Did you read the article ? It’s DEFENDING YOUR DUMPSTER FIRE and saying Edsall’s excuses have validity. As others have said Navy & Tulane aren’t complaining and have far more stringent standard and are superior academic institutions are mop the floor with your school’s football team.

For the record, if we are talking academics, BC is a far superior school to Tulane. In national rankings, Tulane is keeping company more in line with UConn than BC (you may edge us by like literally five schools). You all are AAU (congrats), but we are still your peer, accept it or not.

Anyway, it is beyond adorable to see a Tulane fan beat their chest about sports. You are 6 games into the first season in years where your football team hasn’t been a complete dumpster fire. As for your basketball program, it has been a dumpster fire since the early 90’s).

But yeah, you guys are the cat’s meow. Go you.

You may have to check your math, or contact your admin for an excuse for your bad analysis.

BC US News #37, acceptance 28%, Avg SAT 1413

TU US News #40, acceptance 13.25%, Avg SAT 1410

UConn, #64, SAT 1306, 48% acceptance

So who is closer to whom?

Tulane is also the only one who is AAU. Also when compared to BC TU also has a large hospital, 6 medical centers and of course a solid medical school.
We help plant the athletic killer Scott Cowen on UConn, your welcome.

UConn is large state university and the flagship university of Connecticut. Seeing as UConn's freshmen class size is larger than BC or Tulane, we are naturally going to have more seats to fill (which means that we accept more applicants on a per number basis). However, you were discussing percentage basis.

For acceptance rate on a percentage basis, location has something to do with that number. A zillion kids in America apply to BC (located in Boston) and Tulane (located in New Orleans) just to give themselves the option to go to school in one of those cities (even if they have no intention of going there or if they don't have the qualifications to even come close to getting in, but figure it is worth an application). UConn is different. If you are going to apply to go to a school located in a corn field in a rural corner of Connecticut, odds are you are probably from Connecticut. So, BC and Tulane are naturally going to appear more selective based on percentage of applicants accepted as they get a zillion more applications and they have far fewer available seats. Furthermore, the mission of UConn and that of a BC/Tulane is entirely different which is reflected in the SAT scores you mention. UConn is a state university that is there to serve all residents of the state. UConn is going to accept more kids from inner cities and from more questionable school districts based on their socioeconomic background and to uphold the mission of a state university to give as many residents as possible (who show promise) an opportunity for success. BC and Tulane can mostly stick to accepting rich kids (who can then come to boards like this to claim their superiority and rub their parents' success in the face of the public school crowd). #truth

Jesus man. This is what you said:

“For the record, if we are talking academics, BC is a far superior school to Tulane. In national rankings, Tulane is keeping company more in line with UConn than BC (you may edge us by like literally five schools). You all are AAU (congrats), but we are still your peer, accept it or not.”

I clearly proved otherwise and you somehow changed the conversation all together and actually proved my point all in one. Thanks.

This thread needs to die. It just turned into a zombie that is eating my brain.

Yet somehow UconnHusky has spent 2000 words arguing that BC was FAR superior to Tulane academically and UConn is actually closer in quality to Tulane compared to BC vs Tulane. Good stuff.

You are welcome. I had fun with it.

Here for the swinging dicks.

Lol at UConn having an academic reputation of any sort, i dont care what ranking you site. When it comes to areas where "school quality" matters (i.e. academia, elite professional services firms, etc.) there is basically no difference between UConn and a randomly selected flagship school of any of the other 90 or so state public systems.

Amazing

Indeed. Once the community college crowd starts weighing in on academics, we have officially jumped the shark.

Big Ten alum here and only cause y’all are trashing everyone on your way out. Remember when you all thought you had a chance to join a real conference and ended up in the New Big East (Big East/A10 mashup) Hahahah. Wonder if it was because your football is trash or if your academics weren’t up to standard. I’ll take a mixture of both for $1000.

Boy I can’t wait till 2020 b-ball season. Now I’m going to be watching OSU vs Mich St on Fox with stupid advertisements on the screen with UConn vs Villanova over on the big FS1.

Amazing. ..truly...
