I said the FIRST time. Marshall was in the MAC twice. The first time they got kicked out for academic reasons. The second time they left for a "better" conference, from which they are on the verge of being dismissed due to, wow, NCAA violations.

The criticisms I can run at the US News rankings are rampant, among them being "If US News is so smart, why are they the least-read newsmagazine," but in reality their ranking systems have little to nothing to do with academics. Chronicle of Higher Education rankings are much more accurate in terms of the quality of undergraduate education and they show the MAC (minus shitty schools like Toledo and Akron) is among the top midwestern schools.
I admit there are shitty, shitty teams in the MAC, and I have a degree from one of them. But I have a degree from one that is very much not shitty, too.
