response to academic comment
by: zippy pin head

There really isn't much difference between the two conferences as far as academic prowess. Using U.S. News & World Report rating as well as the Princeton Review as guides we see Northwestern and Vandy are at the top of heap with Michigan close behind. Next would be Florida, followed by Penn State and Georgia. The rest in both conferences (including The Ohio State) are further down the rankings. Actually if you are willing to put in the effort you can get a great education at any of the 23 institutions that comprise these conferences.

But back to football, THE SEC IS CLEARLY THE SUPERIOR CONFERENCE.

Ha Ha.....Thats Funny

The University of Michigan is a university not a ************, amazing that they have high academic standards and a very competitive football team, and basketball team, and a law school, and a school of medicine....... Maybe SEC "schools" should actually educate people on more than football

How does this make sense?
by: Big Ten 4 life

So you're proud that you have no standards for your students to keep up with? Academic requirements must be met by the students. Student Athletes note that student comes first...you're there to learn. When I talk to southerners I feel like I have to lower my IQ to understand them and now you admitted to it by saying that your schools dont have high academic standards...thats like going to a cathouse to find a wife.

Florida Ranks 6th in the Country in Graduation Rates
by: Mo

I give you 5 stars because your comment made me laugh -- and also I had to guess whether you are being critical of SEC academic standards or praising them.

In any event, I would note that the Gators ranked 6th nationally in graduation rates. So you obviously can have high academic standards and still win.

I suspect the rest of the SEC (other than Vandy) are considerably further down the list. But, we've never done a full analysis of this issue. It would be an interesting thing to look into.

Let us know if you have any actual stats comparing Big Ten and SEC graduation rates.

Thanks.
