That's actually a good reason to attend. I always tell people to choose a college that suits your personal personality, and not make a decision to attend a certain school merely because they're famous for their sports programs.
Columbus, Ohio isn't exactly the most happening place, but I've heard the parties are pretty good.
Speaking of choices, I have always been fond of my former school and two of its Pac-10 rivals. I'm speaking of Stanford, University of California Berkeley, and UCLA. I was also accepted to U. of Michigan Ann Arbor but I didn't attend, but it's another school I view quite favorably.

Congrats and good luck in school. Don't let the coins get in the way of your education. There will be plenty of time for them later (and hopefully plenty more money!).
I thought they did a study that showed schools are easier to adjust to if they have decent sports. Something about campus unity and school pride...
After being in a school with decent teams for 1 semester, I would never even consider a school without a sports team. Call it what you will, but that was important in my book. Education fits in there somewhere too....

I wouldn't consider a college without sports either, but unless you're looking to be drafted into the professional ranks the academic reputation of your respective school is much more important to you than your teams' athletic notoriety. It is unfortunate that many colleges forsake respectable academic standards for their perspective students in the effort to make themselves more attractive to athletic recruitees. Although there are some exceptions (Duke, Notre Dame), a scholarship should never be rewarded to any athletic high schooler with a 2.5 GPA or somebody who has a less than easy time speaking a coherent sentence to another person.
What happened to the Volunteers football? They started off well, then tapered off.

Tee-Hee. My Sister and Brother - in - Law lives in Columbus. My Brother - in - Law told me last year that he read a report stating that 70% of OSU`s annual income comes from their sports department especially their football program. Incredible if true and kinda kicks one in the gut but, not every major university has a gigantic endowment from former students or sympothetic patrons either. The money has to come from somewhere if they want to stay in business.
Their Linguistics program is superb. I think even better then Harvards program. Their Medical, Engeneering, and Economics programs are high cailiber as well. So, they do have a bit of the brain with the braun.

A tOSU grad? Sounds more like 70% of athletic income was from football was what he really read.

I went to Ohio University ( main campus located in Athens ) but, dropped out late in my sophmore year.
" 70% of athletic income was from football " does sound more realistic. He or I probably misunderstood. Their football program is more then a game. It`s more like a religon. They get alot of pressure from the alumnus to preform well. It`s annoying sometimes how OSU`s football program is rammed down your throat through the media like it`s the only thing they have to offer. But, if it helps pay the bills, what can you do I guess? There are worse ways to generate revenue.
I'm an OSU grad myself, Electrical and Computer Engineering. Definitely a good Engineering School, and it seems that their business program gets better and better each year. Tailgating is definitely an experience here. Other schools talk about how great their fans are, but few can compare to Ohio State. I'm just not working through my mourning period from the Championship game.

I agree about the scholarships, but my academic scholarship is funded by football proceeds. I would NEVER choose a school based only on sports, but it was a a pretty large factor in my selection. The academic reputation is what you make of it. I'm a firm believer that this is more to education than book learning. College is a chance to experience new things, new cultures, and of course study as well.
As for Volunteer football...well. It's a curse...just look at our basketball record. Start strong and sink like a stone.

Thanks for all the replies!
Geez, if you're going to have a list, at least get Hawaii and Miami on there.

For someone who has been subjected to so many stereotypes, you are rather effective at dispensing them here!
