SIUE is a legitimate Division I university. At least, that's what SIUE wants us to think.

We have a giant poster hanging on the Vadalabene Center, the press needs credentials to get into the games, and now we have red lights all around campus advertising the games. The idea is simple: when the red light is on, the game is at home and students should rush to get tickets and show their school spirit.

When I first saw the red light at the Morris University Center's Information Center, I thought it was a new desk lamp. In fact, it is an upside down desk lamp with a cheap red light bulb. After careful inspection, I saw that there was also game information scribbled on a cheap, small dry erase board next to it.

You would think SIUE would be able to afford some flashier equipment, especially with the $145 athletic fee we're all paying.
