Someone must have an axe to grind with the State University System of Florida.
There are three Florida Universities: UCF (#1), FSU (#2) & USF (#4) in the top 5 of Newsweek's "Least Rigorous Schools".
FAU is ranked 14th and UF comes in ranked at 21st.

USF is the forth "Least Rigorous School" according to Newsweek

I got my undergraduate degree from USF and post graduate from FSU but apparently it wasn't very hard to do.

Glad to see we finally have that signature building we've been looking for. I thought the mountains in the backgroud were a nice touch. Kudos to our grounds crew for making that happen.

Their logic is flawed. Part of it is class size. They equate smaller classes with tougher classes.

Well it credits us with being one of the nations top colleges in the opening sentence.
What the hell does "when normalized by the aptitude of the student body"
I guess that means we just have very apt students. What a silly ranking.
Also, my smallest classes at USF were by the easiest ones. Terrible logic used in this article.

Find it amusing "Forth" is spelled incorrectly in the headline of this thread. Maybe they have a good point

Sorry about being the grammar police. As much as I'm a clown on here for my childish antics, I'm covertly a grammar/English Nazi in real life. The word I hate seeing misspelled the most on sports message boards is "LOSER". If I had a nickel for every time I saw "LOOSER" utilized, I would be able to pay the fees for this website for life... especially when someone has a well written post and "LOOSER" gets into their narrative. I hate even more when I misspell a word and don't catch it before posting... oh well... that's my OCD nature I suppose.
Hey BaltoBull... Any chance you follow the Orioles or Nationals? Just curious as the O's are playing well and they potentially could have a Beltway Series with my Nats. Machado just came up for the O's and he's crushing the ball for a 19-year old phenom.

There should be a red squiggly line underneath words that aren't words when you type them in your Reply, before you post it .... of course, it wouldn't catch the misuse of stuff like "looser" or "forth" because those are actual words.Sorry about being the grammar police.
