Now, THAT's an idea!  Of course, we'd probably be roundly criticized for truth-telling and making the "family" look bad.  That's how dysfunctional families work, after all...they rely on the secret-keeping of their members.

Wonder how much one would cost, though?

The university seems to be proud of its 4th tier status as evidenced by the spinning press release announcing the new status and which said something to the effect that USM is proud to be there along with Michigan State and Alabama. If the university is really proud of this why not have our new tier status posted on the lighted scoll board at the corner of 49 & Hardy? It would be interesting to see what the response to such a request would be even if the request were to be denied. Let them put their scrolling lights where their mouth is."
