Again, the U of O's academic ranking or football standing are irrelevant to the topics in the professor's opinion piece. You imply the Ducks' lousy season discredits his ideas about education and somehow makes him unqualified to run for the school board, which is nonsense. As for college rankings, there literally are hundreds and the positions of universities often range widely, like in the two studies cited. The Ducks' historical football record speaks for itself, and they will have winning seasons again.
