North Carolina making fun of Kansas about education. Priceless.

Looking at the Forbes list of best colleges...

Yikes. Lots of NC... not much Kansas. 260 for the flagship???

#9 - Duke (NC)
#45 - UNC (NC)
#48 - Davidson College (NC)
#56 - Wake Forest (NC)
#133 - Elon University (NC)
#139 - NC State (NC)
#260 - University of Kansas (KS)
#305 - Appalachian State (NC)
#366 - Kansas State (KS)

#473 - ECU
#597 - Wichita State

Context be damned lets hurl arbitrary academic rankings at each other.... A) no one uses Forbes, I didn't even know they released a ranking. B) at least include the parameters: "Whether a school is in the Top 10 or near the bottom of the list, these 650 count as the best in the country. We include just 15% of the 4,300 degree-granting postsecondary institutions in the U.S., so appearing here at all is an indication that a school meets a high standard."

Being in the top 15% in the country isn't bad.
