IIRC they were up to #124 a few years ago before sliding down to #147 last year (and now #139).

Yeah, they've truly only moved about 3 pots one way or the other in the last half decade since their huge bumps in the mid to late 00's. There are anywhere between 10-20 schools tied at any number in the 110-140 range, so moving down one spot actually looks much worse. I think being in the 120-140 range is probably our manageable ceiling at the moment, but with the capital improvements for the Colleges of Business and Law coming down the pipes, we could conceivably get up in the 110s consistently. I just don't see us operating in a way to be able to get to a Top 100 institution year-in, year-out simply because we do still hold firm in our mission to education EVERYONE, and not just kids with a 30+ ACT.
