Wait...some colleges try to game usnews rankings? Shocking, simply shocking.

Every school "games" the rankings. The administration there flat out lied. This is a very distinct difference.

MatthiasIn other news, Major League Baseball has a steroid problem, the WWE is fake, and NCAA Football players take money from boosters.

Also that athletic departments now rape little kids

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
