There is also a distinction between alums and people who attended.  Plenty of people who only attended Ohio State for a few Quarters (they were on Quarters when I was there) are as big of fans as people like me who graduated. 

I agree with you, lots of people are fans because of second-level connections. 
Not many schools distinguish here. Most (if not all) consider anyone who attended as alumni. Even just for one class.

Of course... And many of those who didn't graduate maybe did so because they were more interested in Buckeye football and Buckeye coeds and Buckeye keg parties than they were in Buckeye classrooms :57:
Ed Zachery my situation at UNL

I've never cornsidered myself an alum
I thought I needed a degree to qualify
I've been wrong about many things

It's a great day!
As of this morning I cornsider myself a proud alum of UNL!

I consider an alum as a person who graduated.  But the definition given says I'm wrong.


alum nus. Merriam - Webster definition of alumnus. 1: a person who has attended or has graduated from a particular school, college or university.

I'm actually quite surprised at that definition, not that I had given the topic much thought.

I have walked through the Ohio State campus, maybe that is sufficient?  I've even walked through Harvard.  Maybe I should buy a tie.

Nope. Do some research.

Schools like to send out letters to alumni looking for money all the time.

$$$ seems a great reason to alter the definition slightly

I mean you say that it will be NFL lite and it won’t end well but NFL is by and large the #1 sport in America with the most viewers and the most money.

How about we leave the thing the way it is for like 15-20 years.  Don’t like the greedy networks and conferences re-arranging stuff every couple years.  Definitely against anything called “Rudy.”
