a) hold yourself out as some fantastic academic undergrad institution (based on rankings of your graduate programs)

b) have your football team almost entirely enrolled in the College of Kinesiology (with one poor sap saying he was majoring in accounting in that College)

c) "b)" has changed now with major donations to that College... now the football players are steered towards "general studies"

d) have Jim Harbaugh (then at Stanford) complain that he was steered away from hard majors while at Michigan, then backtrack like a wimp when he was hired at Michigan.
