Also, the school has another plan for dealing with overcrowding in Cox, raising the admissions standards next year.

i dont think they are done buidling at Lyle - thought they seem constrained by available sites now.

Anyone know why we built a temple to Gerry but still have no IPF?

Just gonna throw it out there, it's probably easier to turn a dirt pile construction site into a patch of grass with some marble in the middle than to build from scratch a 10-20 million dollar state of the art indoor practice facility w/ little open space that has to look aesthetically pleasing and blend in with a style of architecture. That, and I bet a donor wanted it.

It would be nice to see our research expenditures be at a more competitive level, if we want to be seen as a hub for Dallas

How are these things mutually exclusive?

No, they're not. But, I personally don't get it how some folks prefer top 25 in football vs. improving ourselves academically. Last time I heard, we were an academic institution first. Kudos to you for thinking we can be both. I think we can too, and I hope the majority of alumni believe so as well.
