Excerpt:

4. Ohio University. The school’s spring celebrations, known as Fests, are so popular they have their own Twitter handle (@FestsOfAthens). There’s Mill Fest and Palmer Street Fest and High Fest and #Fest (that’s number, not hashtag). There’s also a Halloween block party that dates back into the mid-1970s and includes live bands, plus Court Street, which includes 20-plus bars. The folks of Athens, Ohio, have this fun thing down.

Basketball grade: C-plus. The Bobcats are a lot like their campus -- sort of an under-the-radar gem. They haven’t been to the NCAA tournament since their 2012 Sweet 16 run (and near upset of top-seeded North Carolina) but with one good coach begetting the next (Saul Phillips is the latest) they have the potential to gear up for another Cinderella season at any time.
