That should say "Tampa" not "Tampa Bay"....

Strictly speaking, Tampa Bay isn't a city.  But for purposes of the kind of analyses Money Magazine prepares, the reference is probably to the metro area, usually referred to as "Tampa Bay" (including St. Pete, Clearwater, etc.).

I heard that TPA even has its own Hard Rock Cafe now.  Never seen one in an airport before...

All it needs now is a Publix.

Singapore is the only other airport where I've seen a Hard Rock Cafe, so I was surprised when I saw it in TPA.

Speaking of awesome airports... Singapore is hard to beat.

Actually I checked and the Money Magazine article specifically references "Tampa".

Yeah, I checked as well. It looks like you were right on that one -- def a typo.

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter if we're better than any current member. We need to be better than the ones applying. 

Well, that probably wouldn't be politically correct in the presentation.  But we have to be at or very near the top in all these categories compared to the ones applying.  We probably beat everyone except possibly Tulane and UConn in academic metrics, and UCF beats us on number of students.  Otherwise, I can't think of us losing another category.

Great, we can expect an application to the B12 from the National University of Singapore any time now.

Only if the Big XII starts up Cricket. If they do, we're sunk.
