once again our peers are NOT EIU and WIU when it comes to comparisons
Anything outside of athletics I agree. But we cannot compete with UIUC in athletics with their income and budgets. We just can't. They make twice as much from the B10 Network every year than we make in the entire AD. It's not even close.

agree !00% Quinn.... but there is a big range between uiuc and eiu/wiu in athletic/academics..etc Isu is someplace in between and it is mind boggling to me that many like to use EIU/WIU as a main reference point for measuring ISU's success. Hard to be motivated to improve when one consistently compares themself to something or someone that is less.

I think in most of the majors that we both offer, we are competitive with UIUC. Some of the STEM majors I'll give them, but we are far and away a better education school.
