Man, they'll create categories so every school looks good won't they?

Reminds me of an award my company got a work. We made the Inc. 500 and they use that as an opportunity to sell you a bunch of junk for way too much money. Then when you don't make the top 500, they extend the awards out to the Inc. 5000 so they can try to sell you a bunch of **** again even though the award really isn't very prestigious any more.

Some people just have no idea how APR works. It's not a standard across the board. It's easier to get a B+ at Marshall than at JMU just like it's easier to get a B+ at JMU than at Northwestern. I don't know how that's so difficult to grasp.

And that's not even discussing the different major programs between the two schools.

We will win most arguments about academics. Unfortunately, we get our butts handed to us when it comes to a discussion about athletics. Mediocrity at it's best. At least in football and basketball. Women's basketball and softball are pretty good.

Wow! You have to work pretty hard to score lower than Radford.

It's okay though. The regional university rankings are like extending the forbes 500 to the forbes 5000. Well... Okay, not really.
