Just recently I've heard that google is writing on their blogs that they're not giving any notice or value to edu backlinks anymore, because all edu sites have been spammed so much by internet marketers all this time.
Have you heard similar rumors ?

Yesterday I was analyzing some of the website backlinks and one site ranked mostly because of .edu backlinks
I also do not aware about this fact. I do not think so that Google will do so. I always focus on .edu backlinks in my SEO strategy. These Backlinks really boost my RANK in google.
Hi i'm not sure if this is what you was on about?

I don't think so but it is quite clear that the hardest job to get backlinks is from .edu and .gov sites and blogs because they don't give you backlinks easily therefore i am fed up from .edu blogs.
I quite agree that, Google is keep devalue link signal. As per webmaster central blog, their future metric will be more on bounce rate, click through rate and conversion, which is refer to user activity.
