It's not about W's or L's, it's about marketing and attitude. OM gives off an impression of being successful, and they're better at marketing largely due to their selling of the Grove and the journalism school influencing those that create the narrative.
Exactly. Meanwhile we're telling all of our seniors to go pro and our coaches how much better other jobs are than ours.
