    the only "advantage" they gain by this move is everybody else in the conference is a private religious school as well. other than that....doesn't make sense.

    Seriously, didn't Dickinson State flee the old DAC Conference for the supposed greener pastures of the Frontier Conference , only to flee back a couple of years later because of the travel and time spent on the road ? There's an old saying that goes..... "the evil that you know is better than the evil that you don't know..........

    Seriously, this falls in line with the whole mentality of Jamestown, they just put a certain spin on things and pretend that it's great. They changed the name to UJ so it sounded bigger and better than plain old Jamestown College. They started calling the airport Jamestown REGIONAL Airport so they can pretend it's bigger, and my favorite, they put a new 20 bed hospital and named it (again) Jamestown REGIONAL Medical Center. Makes them sound bigger than Mayo in Rochester, since Mayo is only a Clinic.

    Mayo also has the designation of "Destination Medical Center" or DMC which brings Rochester into competition with John Hopkins and Cleveland (of all places) for a bit more than regional focus. Just sayin'.

    The Mayo has there names on a few hospitals as well. Wait let me reword that. They are a health system.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
