Pretty sure all the B1G coaches said Iowa was the easiest school to get into academically so lol at the STUDENT part.
look at the actual qualification vs what the other BT coaches claim.
1st the BT has their minimum entrance requirment
2nd each BT can establish their own requirements.
3rd NW has the highest requirement
4th Wisconsin has the 2nd highest
5th Iowa comes in here and its been proven with all the Academic AA in both FB and BB
After those Michigan, OSU, PSU, Indiana, Purdue, MD, Rutgers and Illinois make up 6-13
Dead last is Nebraska.
during the 90's Rawlings implimented Ivy League standards proclaiming that Iowa was NOT GOING to be a farm team for NFL or NBA teams. going so far as requiring 2 foreign language major out of HS. this did not include English.
never heard of that type of requirement at any colloges before.
when Mary Sue Coleman became President she announced on the day when she was introduced that the standard will be on par with Michigan and OSU so as to give them a equal recrooting footing,
there has been no change to admission standards at the U of Iowa. only in the other BT Coaches warped minds.
they can't stand the thought of Iowa having any success they will make things up to make themselves feel better.
also if the admission standards are so easy then Fran and KF must be doing something wrong as they should be getting SEC level recruits in FB and B12 level recruits in BB. PLUS they would be more dominating in both sports.
