I was reading something on the conference board, and it looks like we're now in the top half of the conference academically (according to USNWR, at least). We've escaped "Tier II" or "Rank Not Published" or whatever they're calling it now.

This is good news, in my opinion. Makes me feel like Rodney may have some clue as to how to improve the university in an overall sense, even if we can't escape conference realignment hell.
