I have no idea what SAT scores mean anymore. I was mid 90s HS graduate and they changed it twice at least since but my 1360 and top 20 graduate ranking was good enough to be wait list accepted at Brown from a decent public HS in a crappy declining part of CNY/upstate. Now a 1380 is avg for UMD.
Completely agree, and to 10stone5 and MDGrad2012's point, none of those schools are mediocre. Even RU being 212 on the list of best schools...there are almost 6000 4 year colleges in the US....My sense has been OSU and UMD are better than RU and PSU but it’s not like your going to University of Phoenix at any of those places.
What sometimes gets washed away with athletes is are they being pushed into some general type of a degree that when they graduate they are left there going “what the hell do I do with this degree?” That happens more than you think at some of these big time schools. A kinesiology degree or a general liberal arts degree is ok if your going on to med school or some other masters program...if you’re not getting a secondary degree, well not so much
The big ten is known for its academic reputation...tons of great schools and really top programs within those schools...but like everything, it’s about the kid and the degree and the alumni network that opens doors for the kids when they’re done...that’s really the key to the kingdom IMO

Re: Big Ten 2023
Interesting discussion on school quality. I went to a magnet high school in Maryland and graduated in the mid-nineties. From my class of about ninety, over half went to Ivies, Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, or CalTech. My 1520 SAT (uncurved at the time!) could only get me into Cornell, along with about seven classmates. Several of my classmates went to Maryland. I did pretty well at Cornell, graduated, then took a gap year. In that gap year I did a semester at Maryland, taking five undergrad classes. I literally got 100% in four classes, and like a 98% in the other. The quality of teaching was quite good, probably comparable to Cornell. The competition was not, at least from the small sample size of classes I took. I understand this has changed over time for Maryland, and the Montgomery, Howard, and PG county suburbs are rich in high-performing students who opt to go to Maryland (lots of kids of parents working at medical research and tech firms on the I-270 corridor, as well as the many research universities in the area).
Looking now at where my high school classmates are, the ones that went to the more prestigious schools all are near the top of their various fields, PhDs, MDs, MD-PhDs. Certainly the connections we made, and the fact that we had the name of an Ivy on our resumes didn’t hurt. It automatically put us at or near the top for any job opening before the interview. And the alumni network is useful, particularly in certain geographic areas and fields (NYC, Silicon Valley, tech start-ups, medicine, law, etc).
When the time comes for my daughter to start thinking about college, I will recommend she look at the top schools, because I do believe they have a level of rigor that doesn’t exist elsewhere, and they open doors that otherwise may not be open.

UMD has the 8th highest public and 13th highest overall research budget. It’s a research institution. Alumni have invented / created Google, Underarmour, the Hybrid Engine, the Universal Product code and symbol, Epic Games(Fortnite), Pulse Doppler Radar, the Octane System, the Muppets, the Wire,Seinfeld, Sirius Satellite Radio, Flexible Artery Stents, The embedded insulin pump, Soft Contact Lenses, the Birth Control pill, broke Watergate.
Much more impactful on the world culture and economy than Dartmouth and Cornell alum combined. Something about UMD inspires genius and huge impact.

It's also an academic association, known as the CIC. The B1G is about to sign the most lucrative media rights deal in college history. Even so, that will pale in comparison to the research grants that the consortium brings in on a yearly basis.

But most importantly, we have John C. Tillman.
You’re probably right about Dartmouth, though.
My life and everybody’s life is heavily impacted by UMD alum daily. I don’t think anybody would notice much if Cornell and Dartmouth never existed.
And for Terp fans, you left off https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Simon
While Malthus was a genius, Simon exposed neo-Malthusians.
A/C is a huge one!
Interestingly … Carriers grandson was in my fraternity at UMD.
Another UMD guy I left off was the solver of Linear Programming which every large business uses maximize profits.
