I will assume ignorance and not stupidity.
Purdue is a top 5 engineering school in the country, #2 ranked in term of graduate employment among Fortune 50o (Georgia Tech is #1, and have a pretty decent sports program with their facilities, courtesy of the 96 Olympics). Rice and Vandy are both National championship baseball programs, not to mention their lesser sports like tennis and bowling (that is a thing), or girls soccer for Vandy these days. Do not think they have fencing, they leave that to the Ivies.
Hopkins Lacrosse is good enough that the National Lacrosse hall of game is located on their campus. Last I checked the have won the Big 10 and been in the final four in the past 48 months, to add to their national championships from the recent past.
Top 30? Only a fool thinks there is such a thing, believes it exists, and bases decisions or aeguments on it. Quit while you are behind.
