For a school chock-full of worthless liberal arts degrees, UNC sure does have a major superiority complex.

Other than their own graduates, who do they feel thinks they’re a public “Ivy League” school? Did they see the study where N.C. State grads are shown to make more money than UNC grads? Or the Wall Street Journal article that says job recruiters rank NCSU higher than UNC? How about the fact that UNC has been cited for major grade inflation twice this decade alone. In 2008, 80 percent of all grades were A’s and B’s.

And sure, we suck at basketball. We have ever since their journalism grads at the News and Observer slandered Jimmy Valvano’s name and essentially helped get him fired. At least we support our team. If UNC had a last 20 years like NCSU had, there would be no more UNC fans. Their home games were empty after their bad start just last year.

It makes no sense why they feel they can make fun of us about basketball. But if we make fun of them about how their non-nationally relevant football program potentially being the SMU of 2010, with agent and academic scandals, they always seem to have excuses about the program.

The entire University suffers from this type of hypocrisy.
