I don't think this is truly an appropriate article. The football team did win the game on Saturday, yes, but as students of this university it shouldn't be looked down upon for supporting the team of our own school and feeling some sense of unity within the win. Michigan may have a better educational program in different facets, but there are multiple reasons contributing to this and considering The Lantern is a student newspaper, it's not necessarily up to and easy for the student body to raise our academics and ratings to that of Michigan's, and especially not in a football season time span. Having a significant jump in ratings takes time, and it's ignorant to think that students of the Ohio State University aren't trying their best in classes. Honestly, as a fellow student it's flat out insulting. I understand your attempt in this article but if anything it promotes disunity within the campus and says that OSU students aren't working as hard academically as UM students (which is false). The items that you're critiquing OSU students on in this article (business school rankings, etc) are largely out of the hands of an everyday student. This university is continuously working at improving itself, and your critique on the progress is unnecessary and offensive. This is one of the first times I've looked at something posted on the lantern and I'm severely disappointed. I don't plan on using this news source with the knowledge that things of this nature are going to be posted. With that being said, go bucks!
