Quite a commendable stat. I have to admit. I am surprised to see 2 SEC schools on that list. If I had to guess before this came out, I would probably think it would be Notre Dame, Stanford, and an Ivy League or similar school like Rutgers. Good to see public universities like Bama and Florida giving back to higher education.

I'm not surprised that you're surprised to see two SEC schools on the list. There's a huge misconception when it comes to academics and SEC schools.

It's been a bit since this report was released. To the best of my recollection LSU came in 4th, Ohio State 5th, and UGA right behind OSU.
