<p>It’s a mystery to me as well. I find it hard to believe that a Tier 2 (1AA) football team which will not begin play until 2013 caused a bunch of Deans and Provosts in 2008 to rank it among the most up-and-coming National Universities in the United States.</p>
<p>Clearly, something else is at play, but I can’t put my finger on it.</p>
<p>Any takers out there?</p>
