No, but the Big 10 schedule is coming out tomorrow. I'm hoping that includes our non-conference games with Michigan, Michigan State and Penn State.

Completely off track, but Lowell is one of the only 150 colleges/universities that provides a positive ROI according to former Secretary of Education William Bennett. It made it for both in-state and out-of-state students.

I think you meant they are in the top 150 in the ROI rankings, not that only 150 schools have a positive ROI...that would be really sad if it were true.

Looking at that list though... Makes you wonder about the growing thought on those who skip the 4yr degree for a blue-collar skill job w high potential for somebody smart enough.

It's ROI but what is it against? All non-college grads? If love to know where the real line is. A negative overall ROI must speak horribly.

Edit: sad to see all the HBCUs in the red, horrible they aren't getting what they pay for

Leswp1 : Thank You.

edit : Regarding the ROI, seems to be very skewed towards engineering heavy universities.
