Quick question: Are these numbers derived from scholarship athletes only, or do they count walk-ons as well? Not that it really matters...

Strange coincidence that the two best teams in the conference are at the bottom of the list on academics. Being a 'Michigan Man' apparently is no longer what it once was either.

Russ...no coincidence at all.

The term "dumb jock" isn't just a term.

They didn't come to play school.

Depressing. But makes me even prouder of Kill's commitment to "do it right." If we have to chose between looking after the kid's future and being on top, the choice is obvious. Hopefully some parents take a close look at these numbers.

This is why Kill is one of the top coaches in the country...he cares equally as much about the kids graduating as he does their performance on the field. Just another reason the U should lock him into a very long contract. Coach Kill gets it all the way around.
