FIU...I thought that was a for-profit school in Boca Raton. That's a public university?

I believe FIU had the top ranking in C-USA. Let's continue to improve.

Yes, #1 in C-USA, but not where we want to be overall.

You're probably right, changing our name to something that's much more recognizable and more descriptive of our university wouldn't help at all. After all, accepting the status quo is what our school is all about and why its been able to achieve what it has up to this point.
