Central Michigan University is ranked by Barstool Sports as "good at parties/bad at sports."

Central Michigan University was once considered Michigan's party school, but a recent ranking by Barstool Sports challenges that image. The sports media outlet compared a school's athletic success and party culture, placing CMU in the "good at parties/bad at sports" category, alongside Eastern Carolina and Arizona State. Barstool Sports' ranking may have altered Central Michigan's reputation as a party school.
