FSU and UF are both top 20 public universities in the US News rankings.

FSU is making a play for top 10-15 status.

Given all the BS that DeSantis is doing and spewing it is time for the magazine to drop them, and all Florida universities, from the rankings.

Students make decisions based on these rankings but the GOP in Florida is doing irreparable harm to all our universities. And these policies are coming to a red state near you.

It’s time to hit back hard and cause some pain. Make these schools so undesirable that no one will go, either from inside Florida or outside. The state likes the rankings. DeSantis spouts off about it all the damn time. It’s time to tell him to shove it up his ass.

The schools earned the ranking. Why should the schools be punished. You do know that they had a walkout yesterday.

Plus we have a Governor, my dear friend Tim Walz, who is still very much the Teacher. I am certain he cannot stand Ronnie D and would run circles around him. The Command Sargent Major in him will not be bullied either.

Minnesota would welcome Florida transplants who want to get a full education. Our College Sports teams here are not bad either.

that would get people's attention. Not sure how many AA football players are willing to look elsewhere though.
