quote:
Is LSU a sports school?


quote:
Is LSU known as a sports school, or is it known for its academics?


quote:
Academics are getting better, but it's pretty much always going to be shadowed by athletics especially with all the recent success.


quote:
this cannot be a serious question...


quote:
haven't you noticed that all people talk about on here is academics???


quote:
I don't know why people laugh at LSU academics, I heard it was a good school, but a lot of people failed because of partying too much.


quote:
Actually LSU has raised admissions standards and is different than what it was 10, 15, and 20 years ago. But it isn't known as an academic school.



quote:
LSU= football factory


quote:
The average student going to LSU today is not the average student from 20 years ago. I think they have raised the bar tremenously and it will continue to get better. BUT if you are also having a great football team that is national televised very week... you are a sports school.

If over the last 20 years, the students got smarter and the football team was the team of the late 80s, we would be known for academics. It just happens we have been blessed in academics AND sports and one is more public than the other.


So many funny quotes to choose from. Hope you guys like this.

Did anyone post on their thread that they are considred "3rd Tier" by US News & World Report? Tier 1 consists of 128 schools (A&M # 62). There is no Tier 2, they just throw every school not in Tier 1 into Tier 3, with no further ranking. Which is good for LSU because they'd hate to see just how far down in Tier 3 they actually were.
