So a typical college campus, but with reverse politics.

Really, I have never seen any campus with mandatory student meetings. I spent 7 years on the FAU campuses (BS and MS degrees)

Okay, I'll give you that. But some mandatory "intro" classes were basically indoctrination classes depending on the major.

RE: OT: Liberty
CUSA should have taken them when we had a chance. They were willing to pay big money and brought their media network too. Now, they are showing a new pathway to success as an independent. If UConn and UMass can replicate it, there will be no reason for any of us to stay in CUSA. It will be proven that independence (in G5 football) is possibly even better.

Who would we have gotten rid of? We have 2 schools too many now to schedule properly.
25 mill divided up 14 ways wasnt enough money to solve any long term problems.

Why they ever invited Charlotte back is beyond me. You have crappy facilities. Ive seen DII and HS with bigger football stadiums and most of your athletics where/are in the dumps. There were better choices out there but this stupid admin went with media markets. The only thing you were better at than most was soccer but then again you now have the same number of conference titles in soccer as Marshall.

Lets see here Marshall has the #5 journalism school in the nation, #1 Forensic science school in the nation and in a few year will have only 1 of 6 avation schools in the nation where you can get a 4 year degree at. Yeah we are horrid to be associated with, if you admin didn't like it they should have run off to the Big South. Admit it UNCC hit the friggin lottery when they decided to add football. A year or 2 later and you would be playing Gardner Webb, Campbell, Charleston Southern and others as conference games. And those are FACTS and not conspiracy theories.

Don't worry, we'll still schedule you for old times sake when we move on, or if you get that dream slot in the Belt. Our maybe you prefer we don't play again and that way you can maintain that .600 winning record against us. That memory will keep you warm on those cold Huntington nights as you watch your aging fanbase move on to the cemetery.

No, we haven't gotten to kerning or sentence structure yet. Or geometric preferences.

clt provides the marshal fans comments. Also you should never end a sentence with a preposition. Charlotte and Rice grads learned that in elementary school.

Let's check Times Higher Education's World University Rankings, shall we?

https://www.timeshighereducation.com/wor...ld-ranking

Out of 1,379 colleges and universities:

Oxford is Number 1.

Rice is Number 105.

UAB is Number 172, right behind Hong Kong Polytechnic, so maybe we move up one when the Chinese police finish burning that place to the ground.

And Charlotte is Number . . . Charlotte didn't make the top 1,379.



Better luck next year.

Strictly speaking, that isn't true, but you aren't the first pseudo intellectual to make that mistake in an attempt to talk down to someone. There are absolutely times that preposition stranding is acceptable, admittedly it was pretty easily avoidable in the sentence to which you referred, but to say you should never do it is false.

No, passing on Liberty was a massive mistake. They could have infused a lot of money and excitement into the conference. They aren't just good at football. Their baseball, softball, golf, and field hockey teams have been in the top 25 or under consideration for it. Their basketball team made the tournament 3 years in a row. They have great facilities and a media team and money that could certainly help with TV contracts for Conference USA.

Funny thing is, in their 3 years in FBS, Liberty is 8-2 against Conference USA and the Sun Belt combined, including two bowl wins. Those are the two conferences that rejected them.

Yeah its easy to accumulate records when someone else isn't even fighting. STFU about that infusing excitement BS. Sustaining success is a long term thing, while money definitely helps, it can only take you so far and we all know how things play out so stop with the records against CUSA and SB BS and GTFOH liberty cuckers. Aren't you supposed to be a religious university hiring people with morals and integrity BS and where did that go when you hired McCaw and that glorious character of a FB coach? Again conferences see you as a cash cow and why will they lose that money and have you as a questionable conferencemate?

I agree with your comment about CUSA passing on Liberty was a massive mistake and this is coming from a liberal nutcase.

GTFOOH with your crap. No one wants your crappy academics. You haven’t played the best of CUSA. You’ve been feeding on the dregs and playing multiple FCS teams in the same season and multiple FBs teams such as NMSU.

Last year, your schedule sucked. You won a pathetic basketball conference. Go away.

There are certain things you just don't do. Inviting Liberty is one of them.
