UF. They've begun admitting far too many kids than they can handle just to get the money; they're admitting more and more out-of-state students without reserving a specific number of spots for in-state students; they are flooded with applications from all over the country (following their decade of titles and championships) so they pick all the best (which they should) but have done nothing to improve class sizes, professors' salaries, or to insure at all that all of these smart kids they're bringing in are getting their money's worth or even a good education.

Florida IS a good school, but not as good as it should be for everything they're doing. They're bringing in stupid amounts of money and feeding it directly into sports programs and other things that don't directly benefit the entire student population. (The dorm my dad stayed in still doesn't have air conditioning. NOT okay for Gainesville.) They're into some sheisty business. My father and grandfather both went to Florida and just last year resigned their membership from the Gator Nation as they can't justify giving them money anymore.

Not to mention their fans are assholes. But that's just a little side note. Sort of. Not really. I've never less gracious people.

Two Florida words that live in infamy around here: Teddy Dupay

When he undercut Mateen Cleaves in the NCAA title game in 2000, it sealed a very strong dislike for Florida throughout the state of Michigan. The kid was a thug then and went on to prove himself even more of a thug after college.
