Wisconsin, meanwhile, has done everything wrong. They've remained focused on graduate programs instead of undergrad. They've had terrible political interference from state politicians that drove away both funding and talent. They're not particularly good at sports. And it's too cold, which is a no-no with this generation of students.  [/quote]

The GOP in Wisconsin gutted the University and University system under Scott Walker.

Gov. Evers has been turning it around significantly. Years of delayed construction has been underway for a couple of years now, with a new iSchool that is information technology and data science. The engineering remains strong as are the liberal arts. I am not sure how you say they aren't particularly good at sports with a couple of decades of basketball, football, women's volleyball, men's and women's hockey, cross country and crew excellence. Despite not competing in baseball and many of the "olypmic sports" that schools like Stanford and Berkeley dominate, they finish in the top 15 or so of the Directors Cup standings every year. They usually finish in the top 20 of basketball and football.

No, they are not Michigan, but who is?[/quote]
