Hugh Conway of Louisville - Memphis doesn't measure up (CA Let to Editor)
From the academic juggernaut Louisville - Hugh Conway takes a special interest in Memphis and the Big 12. In today's CA >>>

Hugh Conway
Louisville, Ky.


... Geoff Calkins thinks “Memphis is Louisville” (“Case for inclusion,” May 15 column). Not hardly. Louisville ranks at 168, Memphis gets a RNP (rank not published). ...The reality is, it’s very hard to get into a Power 5 conference when your school is the one that doesn’t measure up academically.

If you guys ever want a laugh, check out Louisville's SBNation site sometime.

Their members have a serious hard-on for a former conference rival they haven't had to think about for over a decade now.

But yes, the academic superiority shown by a godd@amned Louisville alum is some hilarious, hilarious satire.

The Louisville turds might trump the olemiss turds. That is no easy task.

As folks may recall, Louisville received a substantial ratings bump AFTER they gained admission to the ACC without a substantive change in the academic programs, i.e., the P5 politics. Yet Louisville acts like they have some kind of academic superiority. Typical Louisville class......

Yeah.

Academic ratings have had some serious flaws called out against them but people are right - perception is everything.

They got a bump when the entered the Big East, too. I am sure that we will get a bump if we join the B12. Then, that membership will allow us to attract even more top students which will increase it further. Combine all of that with now having our own BoR, the money being spent on campus upgrades, and strong leadership, and I see us making significant improvements in the ratings over the next few years. B12 membership would just accelerate things.
