It isn't the FB program.

Oh be quiet. The reason most people came to this school my record setting enrollment year was the basketball team. This school wouldn't even be known by the wider population if it wasn't on TV sometimes. I'm from Michigan and northern Ohio and we literally didn't hear about UC outside of sports. I originally came to be a walk on for football. You have an agenda to push because you are bias but before you say words recognize the effects of advertisement in any form. Stop being annoying

Ummm...no....as much as I value MBB at UC, it's the quality of certain programs at UC that pulls the enrollments...DAAP, Engineering, the Medical School are just a few examples...all top notch nationally. If those programs were junk, then enrollments would drop like a rock.

No it wouldn't. People going into the education field could care less about what's happening in those other schools. Hell I thought it was cool but it wasn't what drove me to attend the school. Hell I've never been in the DAAP building or the Medical school. Only people who care about those schools are people who are going into those schools. People come for the college experience. Stop with your nonsense; you sound ridiculous. I'm coming from the student perspective you sound like a cry baby instructor hoping it's the programs the bring the students and not the recreational activities.

Let me guess...Other than participating athletes, the kids who go to UC because they're more impressed with its sports or with the promise of its college experience rather than with its academics are the ones who flunk out at the end of their first year, never to return.

"Yeah man, I've been accepted into some other schools, but I'm going to UC because they have decent sports programs."

"Oh, have you received an athletic scholarship?"

"No, but I really like UC's long string of one-and-outs in the NCAA tourney. I dig the football uniforms, too. Being close to the action is all part of the college experience."

"So, what are you going to major in?"

"I don't know yet. But it doesn't matter I long as I get to attend some games and enjoy some nachos."

I think he is making a pretty good point. The revenue sports are often the first impression of UC for many students- especially for those who come from outside Greater Cincinnati. In turn, they then check out the outstanding academic programs, come see our campus and decide to come here. Bottom line you need all 3.
