Team A touched not Team B. I agree with OP, though not sure the rule has ever been tested like this that I can think of.

Re: CONFUSED: Where were all the Students Dykes keeps thank

I think the conference has seating rules on the away side of the field. Why don't we just flip the camera and broadcast booth and mustang on the field? It would always look full then.

Re: US News Rankings

Last I heard while in school (18 grad) they extended him 5 years to likely set up enough time to get the next fundraising campaign started. He would likely have the next guy or gal lined up ready to meet people and take over. Still agree there is more to do especially for the price tag and the ...

Probably too expensive for a lot of people...especially when cheaper alternatives exist.

Re: UCONN to Rejoin Big East

For BYU it's more than football plane trips. They have a lot of small teams too such as rowing, soccer, golf, etc. Obviously football is the biggest expense, but BYU basketball flying to Philadelphia to play Temple on a Wednesday night isn't easy - hard for us, but harder for them. Also, can the BYU ...

Re: UCONN to Rejoin Big East

I'd add Army for football. Lots of tradition and respect for the service academies, plus a ready fan base in nearly every city.

Probably leave basketball, unless you can make a grab for Gonzaga - which would never happen.

Re: SMU Provost is finalist for USF presidency

I wonder if the next Provost hire at SMU will be a president in waiting type selection? I can totally see RGT trying to hand pick his next successor.

Re: Boulevard movement

Me and my friends just graduated and think you would get kids by making every game count for homecoming points and having a mandatory sign in and sign out. The girls will care about it and guys tend to follow the girls.

Re: The Best Undergraduate Business Schools

I've heard its a 95% of people know at the time of admission. Will be 10x better as students are more likely to accept, (about a 4-8% bump depending on the year) if they know they are in. Room will exist for the great students in engineering or english who change their mind, but not the kids who try ...

Re: US News rankings come out Sept 10

I trust the rankings of poets and quant for undergrad more than us news for bba education.

Re: Official Big House UofM - SMU Game Thread

Was at the game had a great experience in Ann Arbor. I agree we should have a trip to a big team every year. I believe it is completely worth it and may help with exposure. But if we lose we can still have a great experience and have the team make some money. I would love to play at OU, LSU, ALabama ...

Re: US News rankings come out Sept 10

From the above poets and quants link, a description of how its completed. Obviously I would ignore a peer survey and focus more on the poets and quants version that takes into account students admission data and student outcomes.

Re: National Spotlight

Dr. Dixon Hall is a great leader at the school glad she is getting on top of it. This cultural intelligence curriculum she is creating will hopefully be excellent. The people that helped pilot the program spoke pretty highly of it - still a few kinks to work out, but it was a third of a semester ...
