Academics & Athletics: The 400 Best Schools in the World

[Condem]

Let's take a look at the Big Conferences (not including the Ivy League, obviously), shall we? Congratulations to the Big Ten, truly America's Premier Athletic but more importantly ACADEMIC Conference for putting 11 out of your 12 members on this distinguished list. An aggregate score of 100. Just awesome!! Fabulous job to the PAC 12 for having 10 of your institutions included. Most excellent. Aggregate score of 151. The ACC comes in with 9 schools with an average ranking of 166. Very, very good. The Big 12. A whopping 4 schools are represented. Score? 223. Ummm. I don't know. The Big East. At least you have 5. But 281?!? I don't know what to say. Finally, the SEC. I'm almost surprised you have 5. But that's the bright spot. Average score of 290. Gosh, fellas. Knowledge is good. Really. Well, then. Who talks the talk and who walks the walk?
