What a pathetic excuse of a university! Their fanbase and alumni are genuinely delusional and sad. They act like they were ever a good program, when the reality is that they cheated for 3 years and are a .500 or worse team AT BEST outside of those 3 cheating seasons! Michigan sucks and has always sucked!!! The whole world hates you!

Michigan is finally getting what they deserve after colluding with the big ten to pay off refs to “beat” WMU. Do delusional Michigan, sorry — Cheatigan, fans realize that nobody respects their school in any capacity. Whether you’re a fan or a graduate, you are mocked by everyone! Cry Michigan Cry!!!

Does anybody actually think they are a good academic school? Absolutely none of their programs are good, including having a mediocre law school, business school, a terrible med school, public policy school, and just generally below average in every other metric.

I genuinely think MSU, Penn State, Minnesota, OSU, Purdue, and obviously Wisconsin, Illinois, Maryland, and schools like that are better academically than Michigan. I’d even argue that Indiana is better academically than Michigan.

I’m not even a Michigan hater. I just wish people lived in objective reality and called out Michigan for what it is — an average to below average regional public university, that is only considered good because they pay to inflate their rankings.

I understand that fraternities and sororities CAN provide the feeling of “brotherhood” or “sisterhood”, but in my experience and just from witnessing how frat and sorority members act, either towards others or towards their frat members, it seems like those brotherhoods and sisterhoods are extremely fragile. Obviously, I’m saying this with the context of the horrific actions that occurred at that Cornell frat recently, but other than partying, getting drunk and doing drugs, I’ve rarely understood why being a part of these places provides any significant benefit to your college experience. Beyond heinous crimes like what the Cornell 7 did, I’ve already seen fights break out between frat members over insanely petty stuff, I’ve seen frat chairs and org leaders act incredibly rude to random people (one of the frat chairs at a frat at my university, which is pretty small uni in Illinois, was recorded rejecting a girl from coming in because she was a “fat whore”), and I’ve even seen similar things from sorority members, just on a slightly smaller scale.

I already was turned off by frats and sororities because of the brutal hazing I’ve witnessed at some other larger universities, but this Cornell 7 case has kinda solidified my belief that these places are often toxic cesspools.

Maybe I’m wrong and just acting emotionally to one horrific incident, but this is just what I’ve seen in my \~2 years being in college.
