Yelp, new flagship sailing through

If you knew the places to look, you would find KU officials very concerned about their AAU status.

It's good to be motivated.  Otherwise, we'd probably accept 99% of all applicants.

This talking point was inevitable once KU raised its admission standards.  Congrats on diploma mill status, though.

I thought standards didn't kick in until 2016 tho? 

[Dr Rick Daris]

i joke around a lot here but i'm dead serious when i say that if i had to pick four things i'd want from my school it would be...


1)be the best football team in the conference.
2)be the most popular school in the state. dominate undergrad enrollment.
3)be the best basketball team in the conference.
4)be the best baseball team in the conference.

we are doing them all. after that though, i can't think of what would be important? do you go to women's bball or volleyball? my guess is yeah, probably. would one of those be #5?

[Dr Rick Daris]

is there another school that can claim as much dominance over an instate rival as we have over ku in the past year? maybe ohio state? but i can't even really say that they have an instate rival. ku is an actual rival for ksu. ohio state has who? ohio? miami of ohio? i don't think those count. thoughts?

Yeah.  Everyone knew that those admission standards that take effect years from now would somehow i can't even think of a way to finish this sentence.

Pat Bosco could walk up to some Stanford pre-meds and they'd be wearing purple with purple powercat face stickers and purple zubaz and #4 cat jerseys and EMAW'ing their faces off in like one single second.

After Snyder and Bosco leave we're screwed.

Flip 3 and 4 and I'm the same.

The Med school is the only reason they have AAU status.  The rest of the university is awful like kstate.

[Kat Kid]

Not sure what we will do if we ever lose Dr. Socorro Herrera who leads one of the best ELL education departments in the U.S. and brings in millions of dollars of DOE research grant money.

We will be totally screwed!

[Dugout DickStone]

And that one chick whose husband ran off.

Why are you even here.

[Kat Kid]

If we lose "walking" Stephen Hawking our university would be so pud! 



Hmmmmmmmm.




MAYBE we are doing pretty well and are going to dominate the state for years to come. 


 

FEELS GOOD!

Serious question, why are u here you human garbage racist nut job?

Will NBAF be affiliated with the university at all?  If so we should get AAU because of it.

NBAF is a more elite designation than AAU.  BY FAR.

4th year of declining enrollment

4th year of declining enrollment 

Yes, mainly because KU's 2008 freshman class was its biggest ever:

As of the 20th day of class this semester, the new freshman class numbered 3,771, an increase of 5.3 percent from 2011. The class also set KU records for average ACT score at 25.1 and for racial diversity, with minority students making up 21.3 percent of the total.

A big problem where total enrollment is concerned is that KU’s biggest class ever — the freshmen of 2008, who numbered nearly 4,500 — began to graduate in 2012, leaving a big hole to fill.

I know you guys are mostly just trolling, but there's really no way you can honestly claim that K-State is the flagship institution in the state.  KU has a larger endowment, larger campus, larger alumni base, more professors, more graduate programs, AAU status, etc, etc.  It's great that K-State's enrollment is increasing, but having the highest undergraduate enrollment in the state doesn't necessarily constitute flagship status.  Both universities are quality institutions, and both fanbases have a right to be proud of their schools.  Let's not get carried away here.
