The Blue Board

Simply depends on what you consider "good". That said, kids with the talent of Peppers typically aren't going to be utilizing all of the academic perks that give a school its rating. What is important for a kid like Peppers is the network he will have access to after his playing days are over. I'm sure OSU can offer something more than decent in that area.

If he's as serious about academics as some think, he could try to get into the honors program at OSU. It's hard to get into, though. I know when Anzalone commited to us, he was going to do the honors program.

Rankings in majors don't mean much in undergrad. The general ranking of broad programs matter (business, engineering, etc) but specific subject rankings don't mean jack except for grad school.

Like I said, what is important for 99.9% of college players is having access to the alumni network when they graduate. There are exceptions, like Myron Rolle, but those are the exception and not the rule. If he is looking for pure academic prestige, he should choose Stanford. Otherwise, most schools on his list are going to offer the same post football opportunities.

It wasn't too bad. Just really long.

Honestly when you get to the reading comprehension it starts becoming difficult to focus due to the length of the test.

Michigan

Location of the Rite Aid where you work?

The largest alumni?
One of the biggest research universities in America?

The ranking might not be all that, but it's the 17th ranked public university. We're good academically and network-wise.

First, Michigan has the largest living alumni network. Just an fyi.

And I said OSU would be able to offer the network after his football career. I just said if we are talking about pure academics (which I don't think it will come down to) that Stanford (and Michigan to a slightly lesser extent) are far ahead.
