---Those Tiers are a joke.... The think the main requirement is to be close to NYC, the media centre....[ and have employees from those places] Besides overall evaluations are odd anyway... There are departments at every school that are not all that great and a lot of schools have departments that are very recognized and sucessful. Our alums own more Grammies than any other college for example. The worst example I can think of is they once rated Princeton??? as having a highly ranked law school... the problem... they didn't have one at that time (they do now) .... they only had a good pre-law program.

I could imagine SMU sponsoring NT before Tulane would sponsor La Tech.

I don't know what you are popping, but you are completely dillusional if you think SMU would EVER sponsor us!!!!!!!!!!!!

Notre Dame will stay independent. Missouri will go to the Big 10. Arkansas will go to the Big 12. Boise Will go to the MWC. Pac 10 will take Colorado and Utah or Utah and BYU. Who will go to the SEC? Florida State or Miami, then East Carolina to the ACC. Any thoughts?

Wrong. Troy is 3 tier in US News in the Master's category. Completely different set of schools and rankings. UNT is in fact tier 4, but in the National University category. Troy doesn't rate as "National" therefore to hold their 3 tier ranking to UNT's 4 tier is an apples and oranges comparison.

Bingo!

Regardless whether its tier 3 or 4....none of them are nothing to brag about so lets just say they both need improvement.
