We can't beat anyone on research dollars.

OH NO! CANCEL FOOTBALL.

It's common knowledge that the Big 12's main criteria is

k-ace

5/18/16 2:26pm

Don't forget "diversity and inclusion." Mucho importante!

TechTexan

5/18/16 4:53pm

Yeah ... Exactly. Cherry picking big time. Big12 knows what's up. Google could

If they are seriously considering CSU then I think that's the best news I've

riboflavin

5/18/16 2:32pm

I like how they can't find any data on us for half of their criteria

Harrison0Yfan

5/18/16 3:27pm

tell that to Texas

digitalayon

5/18/16 3:54pm

Ha! "Research spending per tenured or tenure-track faculty." 😂😂😂

BamaCoug

5/18/16 2:32pm

I hate how research and academics are measured this way. As if spending MORE $$$

Harrison0Yfan

5/18/16 3:28pm

Does the B12 care about any of those stats? How does CSU being in the conference

And yet US News ranks us #66 and them #127 in national universities.

CSU's pitch pointed out they are 58th among public universities per US News.

*among public universities*

IMHO if CSU gets in, we get in. It tells me one of two things:

Balloon

Percent alumni donors could take into account someone who donated $5

boss

5/18/16 2:49pm

my law school actively pitched that too us even when i was in school.

riboflavin

5/18/16 2:52pm

Every school pitches that idea.

5/18/16 2:55pm

yeah, i know i just thought it was funny that they couched it in those terms.

riboflavin

5/18/16 3:34pm

All alumni tithe payers could be considered donors

mudpupper

5/18/16 3:07pm

FTFY: All tithe payers *should* be considered donors

AggieWeekendCougar

meh. tithes really only support athletics in a round about way.

this is like when Thomas Cooley law school ranks itself #2 (after Harvard) based

How long did you spend on this? Lol

Harrison0Yfan

Not long.

5/18/16 4:33pm

Well done.

That is sad if that is the best they can do

jonnnylingo

5/18/16 8:21pm

They don't even stand out in their self-selected stats.

5/18/16 8:45pm

Typical CSU - a day late and a dollar short.

What's wrong with cherry picking? It's called, "putting your best foot forward".

Marking Time

5/19/16 5:40am

Vast majority aren't mocking the fact that they cherry picked data

5/19/16 6:11am

Data is irrelevant. Yeah, I'm sure the Pac 12 and B1G don't care about research.

ChinoCoug

5/19/16 6:25am

All P5s would take ND in a heartbeat despite not being AAU or R1. Bluff called!
