Off Topic, but Relevant

Respectful and civil discussion of Delaware Football
Forum rules
1. Be respectful of our online community and contribute to an engaging conversation. We reserve the right to ban impersonators and remove comments that contain personal attacks, threats, or profanity, or are flat-out offensive.
2. Stay on topic. If you feel you really have something to add that doesn’t quite fit the current topic, start a new one.
3. Keep rebuttals and disagreements impersonal. You can disagree with someone respectfully without resorting to name-calling or other insults.
4. Do not single out players for criticism by name, number or position. These are 18-23 year-old kids that are trying their best while juggling a college class load. Let’s be supportive.
5. Remember always that players read these boards; players’ families read these boards; respective recruits read these boards; opposing fans read these boards. As a GoHens.net member, YOU represent Delaware Football to others. Please do so in a positive manner.

Off Topic, but Relevant

Post by Info Hound »

Not directly sports related:

Today's Wall Street Journal, based upon the parameters of their survey, has UD ranked #10 in the top ten ranking of Public schools. Included in the top 10 are: UCal Berkeley, GA Tech, VA Tech, U. Mich.

Overall, nationally, out of 500 schools, we are #26. Princeton is #1. The parameters are: Student Outcomes, Student Surveys and Diversity. More information on methodology are available with the full ranking at www.wsj.com/collegerankings

Something to be proud of, and should be an important aspect in recruiting in all areas.

I checked the Forbes ranking for public schools and UD is only- #51. Regardless of the criteria for the placement of all institutions of higher learning, there is quite a discrepancy between F and WSJ.

Well, Forbes must have missed the all-important categories of Student Outcomes and…*checks notes*…ummm…Student Surveys and Diversity. :lol:

Good grief.
