We compete in Formula 1, Boise competes in NASCAR. We compete against those that raise and spend vast sums of money on R&D, that advance technology for the betterment of society, that attract the most elite athletes and intelligentsia, that are known around the world, and that attract the hottest supermodels and celebrities. "Regional Universities" do no none of the above and generally produce delinquents and other vices of bad taste.
