Wisconsin requires their athletes to meet more than the NCAA minimums (which are a joke). That doesn't mean every single athlete meets the same academic standards as non-athletes who are admitted.

I didn't say they did. But on average, the recruited athlete at UW has a much higher threshold for admissions than just about any school in the P5 except Stanford, Northwestern and maybe Vanderbilt. Despite that, the department has maintained a level of excellence in certain sports including the income generating football, Men's basketball and women's hockey and volleyball.

Football
Volleyball
Men's hockey
Women's hockey
Men's basketball

All ranked in the top 10. No other school can say that
16 post season bowl appearances in a row
19 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances

Damn straight!

No national champs though. Rankings are fine but winning it all in at least one is better.

I know " hey UVA !! How you guys doin on those title searches?

I forgot about the muppets! Thanks for reminding me of the incredible impact of U. MD and the sad legacy of all the VA schools!

None of the things you mention can compensate for the tears falling from the embarrassed eyes of mothers having to mumble, under their breath, he, uh, he, uh, goes to ...Maryla nd.

You must really feel embarrassed when you use google , buy something with a bar code on it, kids watch muppets, have anything with Underarmour in it, watch a weather report with radar, go to a stadium with a Jumbotron , drive a car with octane gasoline or a hybrid engine, have your dads defribulator restart his heart, use the pill... You are just making U.MD more arrogant and in control of your life!

We don't need anything from the Va schools. Their alumni could vanish and nobody unrelated would notice.


This is fun!!

None of this has anything to do with the quality of the student body. It’s not good, bro. Not good. But hey. Enjoy the Muppets and watching replays of Maryland’s pathetic football team on the Jumbotron.

Lolz.. The student body has the 7th highest SAT scores of all publics in the nation plus they are tough and not shrinking violets. Well above Wisconsin , Unc and tied with Ucla. That's why they invent and create the modern culture and economy.

What's with this UMD quibble? Some people want out of state for college. Brother-in-law went to Wisconsin (he was in-state) and had a great experience. Madison is a great town.

Whatever it takes to make you feel better. In the real world, no one would place Maryland over UNC, UCLA, or Wisconsin.

F-f-f-false. A quick Google search reveals that WI-Madison teams have won numerous NCAA national championships.

Except for students with higher SAT scores and the creators / controllers of the modern economy and culture!

This is too easy!!

NP here. High SAT scores and producing the creators/producers of vast swaths of modern economy and culture would seem to be among the most relevant measures a school can have. But maybe that's just me.

Wisconsin is just too cold for me. Short daylight , icy, freezing winter days make me depressed and college is stressful enough.

I’d rather be with in-state MD kids than a bunch of in-state WI or MI farm kids

I’d rather be anywhere but MD. That’s probably how most people think.

Lol.. U.MD has the 7th highest incoming SATs in the country among publics. More national championships , Nobels , Emmys , academy awards, fields medals , Pulitzers and impactful alumni than all the Va schools together. U.MD is for tough achievers which is a scary environment for shrinking violets.

Yeah, I think the scary environment is living in College Park. Maybe that toughens up the kids?

Wisconsin is the fall back for U Michigan unaccepted students.

My kid was competitive for both (Ann Arbor/Madison) but had a strong preference for Wisconsin.
