^ i'd challenge Southern Illinois University's inclusion on that list.
it's a good enough school, but a "flagship" university for the state of illinois?
i'd argue no. it's nowhere remotely close to the prestige level /academic reputation of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
hell, i'd even argue that the Unviersity of Illinois Chicago is now much more of a secondary state flagship than SIU is, at least going by academic reputation.
UIC is the only other R1 public university in illinois, along with UIUC. (U. chicago and northwestern are the other two, but they're both private schools).
