check out the class majors those AAA are taking. then look at the schools that produce them NW of the BT, Iowa of the BT. Vanderbilt of the SEC, Stanford of the PAC 12.
Schools that are known as Academic School,
Iowa has a Medical Program that attract students from all over the world.
The conference is still hanging in as the #2 conference according to KenPom. Should help maximize the number of bids come Selection Sunday.
Big 12 - 16.92
Big 10 - 16.45
ACC - 15.78
SEC - 13.78
Big East - 12.52
Pac 12 - 7.69
AAC - 6.61
WCC - 5.11
The Pac 12......woof!! There are eight Big Ten teams rated higher on KenPom than Oregon, which is the Pac 12's highest rated team at 39. Three more B1G teams are rated higher than their #2 ASU.

Cool. I like Nevada. Beautiful state.
I haven't been able to keep up. Is this a winner take all, or is there a scenario where the loser can also get in?
SHit.......Just saw the Michigan score!! Damn.
Sucks having to work a Holiday Tourney. I was in Vincennes(Indiana), working. Didn't get home until almost 7pm. So I missed everything but the Bama game.

Literally nobody gives a fvck about Academic All Americans from their football or basketball team.
Umm....Clemson's rank according to US News is 66th. Iowa's in 89th.
Yeah, I've never understood this. I mean don't get me wrng...I'm big on education. But when it comes to discussing sports? Nope. I couldn't care less where Indiana ranks versus the likes of anyone, via academics. It's a beta argument.
that list includes more than just the FBS schools it also includes the FCS Schools and DII schools.
other than Stanford look at the results of the schools that produce Academic AA's.
NW, Vanderbilt, Iowa not exactly power house teams now are they, like it or some schools put more emphasis on Academics than the top teams do.
KF gets a bonus each year if they have a graduation rate of more than 70% and he gets a bonus if the GPS is over a set level.

it is because of these standards that are being met that Ferentz as been the coach for 20 years,
Iowa is a Academic School 1st and athletic school 2nd.
Iowa is a Academic School 1st and athletic school 2nd.
One of these is unlike the others
check out Iowa medical research, dental program, pharmicutical programs and Eye programs.
Rudock was taking medical classes for Brain Surgery's involving head injuries, he ended up transfering to Michigan to get his Masters as Michigan had the post graduate training to get his Masters.
that is just one of the many area's that Iowa offers, a very good undergrad school then its schools like Michigan has the post graduate programs.
in a game when Rudock was playing for Iowa the announcers were talking about one of his school books how they didn't even know how tell what the books title was.
there was a RB that was taking classes that were required to get into the NASA Program.
in their wildest dreams. and look at the Academic requirements the Hardest in the BT at #1. unless I am reading it wrong then these schools are right there with them,The B1G coaches ranked Iowa as the easiest B1G school to get into
Indiana #2
Nebraska #3
Michigan #4
Illinois #5
now lets look at the negatives
Media #10
Game exoerience #11 [now that is a joke]
Budget #13
Facilities #12 yeah right 2 years removed from a 80+ million dollar upgrade
Recruiting base 14th out of 14 teams
some of those coaches are just flat out lying
80+ million dollars upgrading the facilities 80+ million dollars on updating the west side of the stadium primarily the Press boxes and Coaching box with private boxes
another 85+ million dollars on upgrading the North Endzone, facilities are/is one of the best in the BT and in the FBS.
Coaches will lie in attempt to keep the top talent to stay away from Iowa and go to their schools.
Iowa in the last 5 years has spent over 245 million dollars in upgrading the FB Facilities.
that is if the rankings go from #1 being the worst to #14 to being best so which is it?
Iowa almost lost to Bryant. this time of the year the kids are fat from eating to much of momma's home cooking then they are looking ahead to the meat grinder of the BT Schedule.
You read it wrong. NW doesn’t have the easiest requirements
Dead give away. I'll admit, it confused me until I saw NW at like 14th. Then, well, it didn't. But some aren't as smart as us...
so #14 is the hardest and #1 is the easiest? but Iowa still comes in at #11 overall.
here is a fun fact Iowa follows the BT Standard for admissions that every team has to follow.
also these are opinions only, so post the conference requirements. then the individual Academic requirement by school and not some opinions by coaches.
You have no idea how to read that chart do you? That's basketball related only, and ranks Iowa as the 11th (of 14) best basketball job. They beat out only Northwestern, Rutgers, and Penn St.
Can you show me where I have ever said that? I haven't. And there's a difference in arguing how good your academics are, as a university....Opposed to your coach doing part of his job. I mean last I checked, part of being a CBB coach was making sure your kids go to class. Or am I wrong?
I'll take 11-2 going into the full conference slate. I'm sure they would like that Boston College game back, but that is still not a bad loss. Going to be tough to go into Wisky and win on Thursday though, especially when they are coming off a loss.
never ever said that Iowa was a top destination school. but its still only a coaches opinion poll. 11th best facilities hmmm they just spent 90+ million to upgrade the facilities. get me some real facts from unbiased people and not a bunch of coach that will say nothing good about Iowa.
Michigan 27-1 over last 28 games with the only loss being in the national championship game. I’m sure Michigan will drop a game soon so you guys can get some jabs in.
