<p>I watched it last week. Terrific show. I thought the first hour was particularly good.</p>

<p>Wasn’t as thrilled with the second hour. The topic of higher education financing is very complex.</p>

<p>Yeah, the athletic program and the $$$, I can see both sides…</p>

<p>Excellent point made in this program: All the college rankings are based on the “quality” of the students entering a program. None of the college rankings evaluate the “quality” of the graduates!</p>

<p>There’s quite a bit of research indicating that “peer effects” may be one of the key determining factors in the quality of education.</p>

<p>Someone else happened to mention this show to me the other day. Do you happen to know the exact name of the show so I can check the listings? Couldn’t find it first go 'round.
thanks</p>
