Strange how when one's college is rated high that the rankings matter, but when you are ranked low, they don't.

Who the heck thinks that? It ticks me off even more. One of Colgate's issues has always been alumni contribution; Hamilton, Williams, Middlebury...they all outperform us but we are making ground.

Have said this many times before...the D-I sports and jock mentality, Greek influence and drinking tragedy on campus years ago will unfortunately never fade from the minds of counselors and Colgate's peers. Have always felt that Colgate was more conservative than most, a trait that I don't think many counselors and college presidents view favorably.

And is it really necessary to have so many schools tied? What is that all about?
