UCLA is ranked number 25 in the nation overall by US News.
SC, the supposedly great private institution is only ranked number 30. And Cal is ranked at number 21.
Talk about your freshman class all you want, SC.
The bottom line is that you're not better academically than UCLA or Cal, and you never will be. Your student body consists of people who were rejected by UCLA. If you want to go to a private school in California, go to
Stanford. At least you get a superior education for the extra money you pay over there.
And about your sports dominance, which university has the most NCAA team sports titles? Could it be SC? Nope, they have 83. Stanford? They have 88. Oh yeah, UCLA is number 1 in NCAA team championships with 95.
And how
many men's basketball titles does SC currently hold? Zero! The sports arena draws about two people per game. And your new facility will never have the history of
Pauley Pavillion behind it. Hey, UCLA sucks in football but at least they won one title in the sport. SC will never win a men's basketball title.
It will take more than a few blown calls to beat Oklahoma. Good luck winning a legitimate national championship in football.
Example:
USC is filled with students who were turned down by UCLA. Now they want to
talk about being better because of their
freshman class. It's hilarious.
What do UCLA and USC students have in common? They were all admitted to USC.
