The results should, of course, be presented in the form of a ranked list. If you set up a Kickstarter page for this project, and you seem like you know what you're doing, I'll donate to it.
Incidentally, this could be the kind of project that leads to a startup. Once you're good at detecting cheating, you'll be an expert on college rankings. Then you create your own non-bogus rankings, which could be the seed crystal of lots of things. (Sorry, can't help it.)
Such a US college centric issue.
Looking at this, one realizes the Indian entrance exam for universities might not be such a bad thing after all. Based on merit and intellectual prowess 
The whole ranking things is bogus for colleges. After a certain level you can get a good college level education Just about anywhere. For me the most important elements of college are a cultural fit and the students: are the people that go there exceptional
2/3 does the college have certain beliefs about education & do they pick for weirds and interesting in admission and not just test takers. For those reasons college is worth it for me & high ranked colleges tend to give massive scholarships to working class kids
3/3 colleges that overly focus on vocational degrees and have no long term interest in education as a life long learning journey shape their students & I find those places uninteresting. Rankings are cheesy though
I think clearing away from the traditional concept of rankings would be healthy. It is all about fit. Is there a portal that showcases the strengths and weaknesses of a school, their thesis, best professors, stats about its alumni through the years, etc??
There’s a site whereby students can discover what is right for them, by comparing every offering. Screw the marketing rankings. https://uniinspect.com/ug
What do you define as cheating/gaming though? The current ranking criteria are essentially economic incentives for colleges. Would all behavior that improves them be considered gaming/cheating?
For example, every college who has binding early decision and accepts a large percentage of their class from it is gaming the system by improving their attendance/acceptance rate. Is that considered cheating? What about advertising to increase applications?
Here here! This is why I created uni inspect, a discovery tool that allows students to find college/uni degrees without being swayed by gamed ‘marketing rankings’ https://uniinspect.com/ug
This will create more transparency in the higher education system, and create a marketplace which these businesses (sorry colleges) have to play in
