SMH at those last 6. Not exactly peer academic institutions.

ULM, as per the LSU rule, is a regional university. Research isn’t one of their objectives.

Well, the 'Belt is a chimaera. We were the dregs, and we took what we could get. Suddenly we're atop G5 football... and the additions of USM & ODU gave us a boost in academics. Hence the erratic numbers.

However, we don't want to buy stocks based on price, but growth. Look before the 2022 totals at the trends: Troy, Coastal, App, JMU, Ga Southern are obviously beginning to look seriously at academics, and they are starting to parlay their athletics into academics... which is good news.

Alabama also increased its academic ranking since football reclaimed its elite status. So academic sucking on the tete of sports success.

Where are the numbers after 2019?

You're probably looking at them on your phone... when I did that, I couldn't scroll to the side to see them all. Try using a laptop/desktop.

Interesting data

[moorecajun]

These are NSF dollars. Our research is majority non NSF money. But since R1 we’re getting more requests and NSF eyes on our proposals. Hang on. It’s going to be interesting in years to come.

Help me out please. NSF means something entirely different to me; one of the reasons I don't write checks anymore!

I think it’s the National Science Foundation.

Final answer? Sounds good to me, thanks!
