Horrible news. I'm an A&S grad. While I certainly respect other colleges, people need to realize that the heart and soul of any institution that truly wants to call itself a "university" are the core arts, science and humanities disciplines. Gut those, and all you have left is a glorif...

Does Ohio State have to cut any graduate programs or are we headed back to the days when OSU was the only public university in the state allowed to have Ph.D programs?

How are they deciding what gets funded/cut? National rankings? Peer evaluations?

Out of curiosity, you mentioned BGSU doing away with its PhD program in history. Why? What is driving this...cost? The state system?

If it's on the chopping block and other state history PhD programs are not what is the difference? Does BG's program not have a very good reputation?

Rumors of more cuts, deep cuts, in instructors, the people who perform the fundamental mission of the university. The rumors, then news, just keep getting worse and worse. Beyond possible elimination of many, many instructors, rumors abound of the possibility of tenured and tenure track faculty pay...

80 million dollar donation to Ohio's engineering college.

Good, bad or no effect as it relates to BG?

Michigan chose to go to a trailer park to hire their coach, and now they're shocked that they're in the middle of a Springer episode.

the only reason...ONLY REASON there are varying levels of conference with in D1 is because of the allowed discriminatory practice known as the BCS. That's kind of simplistic. Remember, the so-called mid majors have played in 3 major bowls this decade. In the several decades before the BCS, they pla...

I would love to see hockey back on top. I just don't know that it can be done in Ohio for any sustained period of time. BG couldn't build on the program's success in the eighties to jump to the next level and become a perennial power. OSU couldn't do the same with the nice 6 or 7 year run they had r...

Their fans are terrible. Even the fans that didn't attent OSU, I've never had a problem with the students or alumni. In fact, I tend to like most with whom I've had contact. It's the t-shirt alumni that are obnoxious. It's as though deep down they know that they have no real connection to the schoo...

:lol: One plus one doesn't equal three??? Dang. Wow...first time all day I've been referred to as genius! thanks! As far as hate? Nah, it is much more defending the university that provided me with a great education that I use every day in the business world. An education that has helped me stay em...

You are selling BG students short to say they couldn't get accepted at OSU. Maybe things were different in the eighties, but did you even compare the current class numbers? The average enrolled student at BG has an ACT score between 21-22 and graduated at about the 60th percentile of his high schoo...

Playing devil's advocate, one could draw from these numbers that since anOSU receives exponentially more applications they are able to draw "better" students. This is of course a total fallacy as standardized testing is the worst form of testing one's aptitude. You can spin the data anywa...

Believe it or not, one can get the message about all the great things at BG out without having to resort to making ridiculous claims about osu in the process. And one can get the message about OSU without having to resort to making ridiculous claims about BG, as you did with the admissions speculat...

Comparing recent freshman classes, it looks as though (maybe) 20% of our students could get into osu. To constantly talk about how bad osu sucks academically, speaks a lot more to jealousy or bitterness than any reasoned analysis. Well, so much for not making blanket, wholly unsubstantiated stateme...
