There is a real misunderstanding here.
I think a few members of the Uni itself dont know why they blob. Let me explain.
Its not the SP/experience, not directly anyways because it can be overcome by tactics as it has been suggested.
The real problem with EvE uni is what the players fly. Most EvE University players can ONLY fly a frigate and a cruiser at best.
Now lets set the stage. 5 Uni players, minimum support skills in T1 cruisers against 3 T2 fitted HACs with players that have maxed/near maxed support skills with extensive small gang experience. Now show me the tactics that could overturn the outcome of this fight? If you come up with one, you've never been in a small HAC gang. I believe this to be the reason why the Uni blobs and they cant help themselves.
This is going to be my only addition to this absurd thread which I believe should have been closed by now.

If those five are in gank thoraxes of ruppies they can take down one of the HACs. They lose 5 ships worth 10 mil in total after insurance. The other guy loses a 100 mil uninsurable ship.
Nano HACs(which is the most common setup for HACs) can just MWD away and force the 5 to switch primary and this way take the cruisers down 1 by 1 while remaining untouched. And even MWD thoraxes cant catch HACs. As I said the 3 HAC players I am assuming to have extensive small gang experience so they would know such tactics.
But my point was that everyone tries to play a war on their terms. The only way Uni can do so is by blobbing.

(b) When I say that at 10M SP even with a substantial amount of non-combat skills trained you can fly a BC well, it's precisely what I mean. Everyone worth their salt will tell you that a BC fleet with a advantage in numbers can fight people in HACs/BS (in fact, your Tier 2 BC will preety much kill your non-nano HACs outright and have a shot at catching nano-HACs and killing them).
When you have a number of players which can fly BCs competently, you have a number of players which can fight with the best of them. The only thing holding people back is lack of self-confidence and hands-on experience (which is why people are always advised to start small to get the ropes before jumping in the more expensive ships).
Hell, you have people killing HACs in *cruisers*  There's nothing terrifying about facing HACs and battleships (which are more worrisome tbh, I don't understand the fascination with HACs). I fully understand that you want to provide your opponents with a boring experience trying to fight you, which is a valid tactic (although not very good from a learning perspective but oh well), but metagaming to deter wardecs is sinking very low really.
I mean, you could as well teach your students to logoffski, but you can't really expect people to like it, or to have any respect left for E-UNI. It's not banned. Why not start?
I think you misunderstand Mr Branko. The problem isnt SP. Hell, even 3M SP players can fly BS if they trained in the right direction. The problem is ISK. 3M players arent advanced in the game enough to make that kinda ISK. A month to 3 months old chars cannot afford to lose a BS or even a BC and replace it. Therefore they cant afford to fly them in war. And the uni itself doesnt have the kind of resources to put everyone in BCs. So they just let them fly what they can afford to lose and replace.
If they had anyother choice, I would be acting the same way you are as I imagine its boring for both parties and games are supposed to be fun. But that's all they can do to fight wars on their terms, blob.
