It's difficult to compare UC to other schools on this list - just because it's an apples and oranges kind of situation. The amount of funding that USF or NCState receive is most likely drastically different than how UC receives funding.

Our concern is how we rank compared to our aspirant peers and to the rest of the public schools in Ohio. We need to lessen the gap between tO$U and UC (which is difficult, I know), but widen the gap between UC and the rest of the pack. The more we stand out as the clear #2, and a high #2 in the state, the better for the university.

As a side note, it made me happy to see Louisville going down in the rankings. I wish they would have lost this past weekend to Indiana State, too...but alas even a blind squirrel finds a nut.
