Well, if we're talking national academic reputations, not baseball or football, in fairness some of the other Power 5 are ahead of the SEC. Using the current US News rankings as shorthand:
ACC: Duke (#8), Notre Dame (#15 (tie)), Virginia (#24 (tie)), Wake Forest (#27 (tie)), UNC (#30), BC (#31), Georgia Tech (#34)
B1G: Northwestern (#12), Michigan (#27 (tie)), Wisconsin (#44 (tie)), Illinois (#44 (tie)), Penn State (#50 (tie))
SEC: Vanderbilt (#15 (tie)), Florida (#50 (tie))
PAC12: Stanford (#5), Cal (#20), USC (#23), UCLA (#24 (tie))
But they arent thugs! My word, we have websters here whose children have attended these schools, played or play or will play for SEC teams.

Agreed! I never said anything about thugs or anything close to that. Nor do I think that. I was just replying to Teaching Elder's comment about academics.
