Awwww, come on, Rose -- cut NSA some slack!

Surely there must be some mistake.  The NSAer who provided the information
to CollegeNet must have misunderstood the abbreviations or something.  NO
WAY would NSA provide incorrect, inaccurate, or misleading info on purpose,
right?

Or, perhaps those pesky Intoleristas have also managed to infiltrate
CollegeNet and put all those false Xs there just to vex NSA?  Yeah, that's
the ticket:  it's a conspiracy!

Of course, the inaccuracy of that information calls into question the
credibility of the other information, including the claim Courtney makes
that NSA ranks #18 in the US for ACT/SAT scores.

Oops -- I guess no one was supposed to notice *that* . . . how inconvenient
for Courtney.

Visionaries and Dale,
 
Thanks, Dale, for directing readers to the link which establishes NSA as the
18th ranking college (for ACT/SAT scores) in the U.S.  However, I was
curious about the report of intercollegiate  sports offered by NSA.
http://cnsearch.collegenet.com/cgi-bin/C3/cnsearch?DVview=Life&inst=931    I
had no idea that NSA fielded teams in basketball, football, lacrosse, and
rugby (for the men) and soccer for the women.  Please put their playing
schedule(s) up on your website  
 
The link seems to contradict the NSA website which says:
"Intercollegiate Athletics
Sorry, sports fans. Don't have any. Never will." 
http://www.nsa.edu/news/athletics.html
 
Oh, and one more thing.   I have never doubted the innate academic ability
of most of the students attending NSA.  I have consistently questioned the
ability of the faculty (with the notable exceptions of Drs. Gordon Wilson,
Peter Leithart, and now Mitchell Stokes) to provide the quality of education
that these young students are paying for and deserve.  Call me
hyper-critical if you will but, in my mind, a family or church relationship
with Doug Wilson is not a meaningful criteria for hiring faculty members.
