West Lafayette named Big Ten's worst college town

This really isn't "news", but thought it funny just the same. Frankly, I thought their assessment was a bit harsh. I've been to West Lafayette on a few occasions and found the women, though decidedly larger than most, warm and friendly. Indeed, they seemed quite content to stand out in their fields, chewing quietly.

Neither can I. Most sources that I've seen previously had IU in the top two in the BIG10.

Going by the original article on Athlon, most of the "experts" are football-centric, so I believe their opinions are skewed by the popularity of the football team in that city/town. Penn St was #3 and I've been there a couple times on non-football weekends and to me it was just so-so; especially when compared to Bloomington.

Good point.  Btown should be top 3 at the lowest.  I've been to most Big Ten campuses and most don't even come close.
