Because they won't shut up about it. I won't dignify their boards by going over there, but it doesn't mean that I won't respond to their ridiculous, delusional crap when it spills onto BP.
When people stop taking one peripheral, secondary program like journalism or polymer science and attempt to argue that program somehow makes a regional state college, the academic peer of a national AAU-member research university, I'll no longer need to dignify their nonsense with facts.
When their presidents stop giving ridiculous speeches about no quality differences between Ohio State and the regional state colleges--knowing full well that they or any of their faculty would crawl to Columbus on their hands and knees if ever offered an interview--I'll no longer have to dignify their bull[censored] with a response.
Ohio State once believed that it could play nice and cooperate with these [censored]s, and they were stabbed in the back at every turn and set back for a generation. The university knows full well that it can never, ever take their boot off the throats of the regional colleges again. While nobody from Bricker Hall is ever going to publicly say as much, don't for a second believe that it's not a guiding principle in how Ohio State views the other state universities or a guiding principal in the higher education restructuring that's occurring as we speak. The regional colleges (Miami of Ohio and OU foremost among them) are getting what they deserve.
There, that's 32.
