dude . . . there is a reason i placed MIT at the top of the list; those are not just "good" schools, most of them are @ the very top of any sane person's list

there are excellent academic institutions playing Div 3 football as there are excellent schools playing [the highest level] Div 1 (BCS) football, e.g., Stanford, U of Michigan, Cal Berkeley.

my larger point is to illustrate that there is NO relationship between the level of athletic competition and academic excellence [perversely, some even claim that there is a creeping inverse relationship]

Skeldon_man is simply an ignorant dilettante tossing around terminology he barely understands, and who just happened to stumble into the quicksands of stupid donkeys who bray invincibly

that's all

 You are very funny...what does a requirement for support of athletics has to do with academic performance. I agree these are rich schools but they vary considerably in the perception of their academic quality. I went to two of them and is presently taking classes at a third.

 You are such a balloon head...to date you have collapsed this board to a center for racist bilge an now somehow, pretentiousness and stupid bragging has arisen to be a virtue in your eyes. I would not even care for where you went to school because I may be a dark stain on that institution that a dirt bag moron like you passed through its halls.

what a wasteful exercise. Barbados has its unique pull and for an island with limited natural resource and close one thousandth the land mass of guyana it is doing just fine. They have had sustained quality of life for decades that we are yet to see.

Indeed we have the capacity to build for our people a great future but it is not coming from the corrupt PPP. They treat our country as if it is their grand father's property. While we see the squalor of plastic city we see comparatively jagdeo living in a palace that could solve the poverty of five plastic cities.
