I hear this comparison a lot and after reading that other thread it got me wondering if UCO can ever shake the Broncho high school image.

Broncho High! Ha ha so true!!! Got my bachelor's from UCO and then my master's from OSU. I proudly donate my time and money in Stillwater rather than waste it in Edmond with false promises of Division I athletics and the high school environment. In fact I don't even mention my time at UCO unless absolutely necessary. Just a horrible time I had there unfortunately, but it was all I could afford at the time.
Unfortunately no. Not with the current leadership and administration. The only time UCO was developing into a major player was during the Nigh years. Since then everything is done with smoke and mirrors. So much potential, decent enrollment numbers and a good location, yet too many people in high ranking positions with very little real world experience and sub par resumes. Hence the revolving door of staff employees, especially quality ones.
What is sadder is this won't change any time soon and alumni support will go elsewhere.
