Point proven ^

These guys want nothing to do with Troy, ULL, Arkansas State, USA, etc....

They flaunt it and humiliate the Sun Belt and the Sun Belt keeps begging please, please, please

Thanks for your sophomoric interpretation and telling us exactly what to do. No idea what we would do without the help. Thanks again.

However, you can talk about your MAC members all you want, but would appreciate you not trying your back handed insults at our conference members. Troy, ULL, Arkansas State and USA are fine schools and have more integrity in their little finger than you seem to have in your whole body. Am sure a lot of us could say the same thing about many, many MAC members, but we won't.

Let's just stop with the MAC superiority rhetoric and look at the numbers.

Top to bottom the MAC and the SBC (and CUSA) are very similar from a standpoint of admissions, retention, graduation rates, and GPA.
I have never understood JMU's fascination with MAC academics vs CUSA and the SBC. They are all the same.

Well Rice is quite a few steps above everyone else...but they are a Private school.
