I'm surprised at the university representatives who were disturbed by Clemson's gaming of the system. Shouldn't this make those people (and US News) question the validity of the ranking? Instead of making a display of outrage, why not find a better methodology?
The most troubling aspect of this is that good schools feel the need to become arbitrarily more selective in order to boost their ranking.
