It's not a school.  It's a factory for making the worst possible zealots. 
They have engineering programs that are accredited by ABET.

All schools are run by fanatical zealots, but most are of the woke variety. There are two or three that are run by zealots of another stripe, so the zealots of the first stripe like it when their football teams lose, or some such. I don't know.

"We" humans are very tribal and like to have "a side".  The "other side" has to be fanatical zealots who mean harm to puppies etc.  

Find the usual epithets for the "other side", they are quite common.

What's wrong with the school?
I have respect for religious people who are about what the religion is about. And tends to be doing something hard/limiting one’s self and generally pursuing acts of kindness to others.

I have a dim view of religion that is mostly empty of those things, but driven by the pursuit of monetary gain, political power and the opportunity to be generally shitty to others. 

That school represents a great deal of the latter. Opportunism in the guise of faith.

Gotcha. I really know very little about the school. Except that they have engineering.

Yeah, I have nothing against the school per se.  Just the grifting family who created and ran it.  I didn't realize they actually forced the son out after a sex scandal a couple years back, so if they are free of that family, then it's just a normal, good old fashioned 27 point upset.

Pretty cool for Kennesaw State, who is only in their 10th season of existence, first in FBS.  As I've said about other schools, is this better for fans?  They quickly became a very good FCS program.  The made the playoff in their 3rd season, and proceeded to make it in 4 of 5 seasons, reaching the Elite 8 twice.  Now they are a 1-6 Conference USA team.  Even relatively successful schools to make the jump, like Appalachian State, is maybe winning a Sun Belt title and playing in a New Orleans Bowl better than competing for FCS titles?  I get that money talks, but if I was a Kennesaw State fan, I'd be kind of bummed.

I kind of enjoyed the Kennesaw rise. They spent most of their time as a flex bone team, a pretty good one. Off the Paul Johnson tree, which makes sense given the geography.

I think they’ve shifted a little bit away from that, and even when they were good, some of it came from playing in a pretty cruddy conference. I’m not sure how this move up is gonna go, but I hope they do well.

I didn't know the school was founded by Jerry Falwell. OK then. I get it now.

He was, uh, interesting.

It’s the kind of school that is going to be very chesty about the brand of Christianity it wants to propagate, but it will also hire Hugh Freeze and the Baylor A.D. who oversaw all of that sexual assault coverup because it’s good for expanding the brand.

No one should be on the side of the Falwell's ATM machine university and its hiring practices.  But you keep on toeing that middle line between decent people and actual human garbage.

5-1 vs 6-0.....looks like 5-1 was pretending.  

Pitt's history is interesting.  
Won the NC in '76 with Dorsett, under Johnny Majors.  He immediately leaves to his alma mater Tennessee and promptly goes 4-7 in '77.
Pitt hires Wazzou HC Jackie Sherrill, coming off a 3-8 season, who kicks total ass with the team, including three straight 11-1 seasons with the saltiest defenses.  Couldn't run on them, couldn't pass on them, thanks to probably the best era of pass-rushing maybe ever, with Hugh Green and then Chris Doleman.
Immediately after that 33-3 stretch, Sherrill leaves to A&M for big money (sound familiar?).  
Some guy named Fazio then has Pitt sub-.500 in 3 years.
