This Would Be Funny if I wasn’t a UCF Graduate

When I was writing about UCF’s obsession to give everyone with tuition money a degree, I remembered something that occurred some years ago when UCF was getting ready to award their 100,000th degree. This was an event that was going to get a decent amount of local media coverage. Because a lot of dumbasses graduate from UCF, high level administrators were concerned that the recipient of the 100,000th degree would perform poorly when he/she was interviewed by the media. What was the solution? UCF manipulated who was actually awarded the 100,000th degree and made sure it was someone respectable.
