Bad Equation: UCO + Bricktown = School of Rock

12:23 AM EDT on October 15, 2008


You may have noticed last week that the University of Central Oklahoma announced they were creating a "School of Rock" in Bricktown. Yep, you read that right "“ a boring commuter school is opening a rock n' roll school in a stale, touristy part of Oklahoma City. If that's not a recipe for success, I don't know what is.

Seriously, did they not consider all the bad things that can result from this? What will happen on the first day of class when all the student moms in minivans try to park in one of the five free Bricktown parking spots? Which bar will get shut down for allowing the seven underage students at the school to get drunk? Will students be disciplined for not smoking? These are some serious questions that must be answered. Maybe Steve Lackmeyer will tackle it in a future column.

Anyway, maybe I'm being overly critical. Maybe the UCO "School of Rock" will be a resounding success. If that's the case, we've decided to list some other strange and totally mismatched school ideas for other local universities, colleges and organizations to consider. The first one is below, the rest are after the jump.

What: College of Advanced Law

Where: Oklahoma City University
