Does that say what I think it says? That the people in charge of higher in education know this school is a sham, but instead of shutting them down they just kind of wring their hands and act like they don't exist?

How much money is this school making and how much of it was given to the Arkansas Department of Higher Education?

I'm late to this - but excited.

The announcers are acting like Valpo needs this touchdown badly.

The COF lineman are just 5 really fat guys. Not a whole lot of athleticism.

calling them fat doesn't do them justice, they are like 450 pounds each

we need to keep in mind that Valpo is really bad


Like in high school last week. Live Oak beat some charter school by 60+ points and they have been a punching bag for the other 5A schools in BR, except when they lucked out and got that one playoff berth a few years ago.

Based on what I'm seeing, Grayson Bastin needs to be mentioned with the likes of Fournette, Chubb, and Elliott.

I don't know, but they likely have the power to tell people who go that school that their diplomas will not be recognized and they're not worth the paper they're printed on because nobody has accredited them. This sounds more like it's a "it's none of our business" response.

The bigger question to me is can a person get a degree from here and then go to law school. Or any graduate school for that matter.

They're the real life version of the S.H.I.T. from the movie Accepted.

Looks like Southeastern Louisiana plays my Bobcats at the same time (also on ESPN3). I may be preoccupied.

this place is a bigger shite show than i remember

quote:

The College of Faith is mostly built on — isn’t it obvious? — faith. This isn’t an “If you build it, they will come” kind of place, but an “If you imagine it …” kind of place. The only athletic association to which it belongs is one it created itself.


quote:

And about those names. The coaches of each campus choose their own mascot for their team. The Saints are in Charlotte. COF-West Memphis are nicknamed the Warriors. COF-Tampa, the Glory Eagles. Actually, make that UOF-Tampa, as in the University of Faith. That’s because Glory Eagles’ head football coach/president Anthony Givens is a big fan of the “The U” down in Miami.


quote:

No COF team has played a program as big-time as the Hurricanes, but this past August Division-I Davidson College did pay the Saints few thousand dollars to make a 30-minute drive northward. The result: 56-0 and a highlight film that makes Davidson look like Ohio State. Davidson Athletic Director Jim Murphy told WFAE 90.7: “I felt like this was opportunity to help a local football team get its legs.” Equipment, too. The same week of the game, Davidson donated practice pants and shoulder pads to the COF. Then players from both teams visited a local soup kitchen.

sadly, the author doesn't clarify if they went to a soup kitchen to serve or be served
