My #2 is Linfield--for all the points that Rat brought up. The football argument in nonsensical to me and I don't buy it. I've never been around an athlete worth his salt who avoided a school with a good football program. In fact, when looking for a school, i think having more jocks around would be a huge attraction.
My niece plays a sport at Linfield and has talked about being a 2nd class citizen when it comes to football vs everyone else. For example, when she was hurt last year she couldn't get any assistance by the training staff who told her to go away, that they only had time for the football players. She ended up having to do her entire rehab stint herself off campus and going home on weekends to get her PT uncle to take care of it.
Totally believe it. I had an inflamed disc in my back my sophomore or junior seasons. I was told to deal with it and sent away. It was a game day even!
