National Ranking of Universities (Mobility, Research, Service)
Thought this was interesting 03-wink >>>

http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/college...y_rank.php

Below are the Washington Monthly's 2013 national universities rankings. We rate schools based on their contribution to the public good in three broad categories: Social Mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students), Research (producing cutting-edge scholarship and PhDs), and Service (encouraging students to give something back to their country). For an explanation of each category, click here. For more information about the overall goals of the rankings, click here. To learn more about our methodology, click here.

University of Memphis 37
University of Houston 68
University of South Florida 78
University of Connecticut 81
Tulane University 100
University of Tulsa 164
East Carolina University 171
University of Cincinnati 191
Temple University 195
University of Central Florida 211
Southern Methodist University 260

I think you're confusing academic standards with whether "low income" students attend.

And scholarships are probably the reason why Rutgers ranks 13th in social mobility.

The U of Texas opposition to Memphis was not based on football. They felt the school was below the Big 12's academic standards.

Would like to see the breakdown of the data to see where areas in the review we rated highest. Have a feeling that the mobility part of the equation was major portion of our score.

We did score high on 'mobility' - #53. Which makes sense considering how poor Memphis (the city) is and the likely fact that a lot of Memphis grads are the first in their families to graduate college -- or even go.

And while 'social mobility' is nice it's not limited to schools in cities like the city of Memphis. West Virginia ranked better. So did Michigan State.

And so did Georgia Tech, Texas A&M, BYU, Florida State, Indiana, Oklahoma State, Arizona, Florida, and North Carolina. 03-wink

It's only one simple measure but Memphis, at 64.7%, has a lower acceptance rate than 6 of 10 current Big 12 schools.

Baylor University - 60.7%
Iowa State - 83.3%
Kansas - 92.3%
Kansas State - 99%
Oklahoma - 79.1%
OSU - 78%

TCU - 40.9%
Texas - 46.8%
Texas Tech - 64.3%
West Virginia - 85.1%

Texas' opposition to us is based on their experience with Houston in the SWC.

Houston beat their asses once given a stage to do so. they did not like competing with Houston.
