if i'm not mistaken MSU has received and is eligible to receive appalachian regional commission money. it's due to its location.

Date: May 7, 2006

if you go to the appalachian regional commission site you find the following mississippi counties that are considered part of appalachia:

Mississippi: Alcorn, Benton, Calhoun, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Clay, Itawamba, Kemper, Lee, Lowndes, Marshall, Monroe, Montgomery, Noxubee, Oktibbeha, Panola, Pontotoc, Prentiss, Tippah, Tishomingo, Union, Webster, Winston, and Yalobusha

you are correct about the ne mississippi counties, but kentucy, tennessee, etc are also considered a part of the appalachia region (roughly the same area encompassed by the tva)

Don't make the mistake of confusing athletics with academics.
