the clarion ledger article does not seem to exist.  but if you want to see what was reported go to the following link:  http://www.ihl.state.ms.us/system_review_newsletter/system_review_new.html.

at that point go to the section on the reallocation of appropriated funds and click the link to the powerpoint presentation.  in a nutshell, the IHL is starting to use a funding formula approved in 2003 and the upshot of it is, is that if fully applied right now, usm would lose about $3.5 million in appropriations, while ole miss would gain over $10 million, and msu would gain over $4 million (if i remember correctly).  the ihl is going to implement this over a five year period, so each year they will rerun the formula, and these numbers might change.

Of course I was right.

And on an unrelated note, I had a nice visit with Austin Eagle (in Austin) last Monday. Heard some live music & ate some chili rellenos.

Uh Oh.  I'm so sorry.  We assumed you were occupied with big doin's at the D'Lo campus.  It won't happen again. 

As for the thread topic,  isn't Invictus always right?
