This is an interesting ranking, I think it often get's overlooked that we are competing with schools (academically and athletically) that were founded in the 1600's and we aren't even 50 years old yet (since breaking off from UVA). The fact that the University has risen to where it is in this context is truly astounding, as we are at a significant disadvantage in terms of alumni base and contributions and endowed funds. So let's keep cranking out those future NOVA millionaires!

We would've stolen the Anteaters' basketball coach if he hadn't left his balls in his wife's purse.

Santa Cruz is an amazing little beach town though. Love that place.
