I would hope that Jay Cross would see the Big Three as being equally reputable. I just think he made the mistake of thinking that Excelsior would be faster. With the direct acceptance of FEMA credits for free, COSC might even be faster even though they require a cornerstone and capstone. I'm not sure if he's aware of COSC's new BSBA program.
On the sister forum, someone shared a story of an HR person who wouldn't consider her for a job because she believed that Excelsior was similar to the notorious for-profit colleges such as University of Phoenix and ITT Tech. But, you're going to occasionally run into ignorant people wherever you go. As stated before, all of the Big Three are non-profit. They're also regionally accredited and haven't been involved in any major scandals. While COSC and TESU are not well-known, very few people will question a state college or state university.
