<<But, IBM does not market it well.
To me, they still seem to be of the mind that it will sell itself. This 
whole education initiative is a case in point. There are no 'big name' 
schools on the list!>>

The big name companies that contribute to the big name schools need to be 
pushing this initiative!  Why do you think the University of Arkansas has a 
full curriculum in enterprise computing? One of their big contributors need 
those skills.  The UA of students in this program are also given a chance 
to work as summer interns and co-ops in a large mainframe shop.  You can't 
expect IBM to do it all.  The companies needing mainframe skills need to do 
their part to influence the Universities/Colleges in their area.
