Why are you mad she made it harder to get in? I think it was over the last few years that UM finally passed UF in academic rankings. Because of her, Golden can tell parents they are the highest rated institution in the state of Florida. A lot of times, he can say Miami is better academically than most schools he's going up against, regardless of location. That plays huge to parents.
That's if you're looking at it just from the athletics side of things. Let's not forget that is also her main job and focus - improving the university academically.
all valid points, however i am a die hard Cane because of Sports. I know this will sound shallow but i could care less about Academic rankins (and im surely not in the minority).
I'm all for non-alumni fans but, the academics of the school are just as important as the athletics. High academic rankings add prestige to the []_[] and gives us one more thing to gloat about when we whoop another schools *** in a sport. Being a fan of the []_[] means being a fan of all things Miami. The standards that our athletes must meet are minimal in comparison to what the academic students need to qualify for certain programs like Music, Architecture, Marine Bio, etc.
Do everyone on the board a favor and refrain from making posts about academics if they do not interest you because on this board it appears you are most definitely in the minority.
