I'm surprised Iowa is so high. I thought I remembered them being on the bubble the last time and they've had numerous suspensions and players kicked off the team since then.

Funny how our friends in Evanston like to talk a big game about their academic excellence but they can't make that list or do anything on the field either.

Those 3 BCS teams are all better than NU in football as well as the APR.

I am surprised to see PSU that high. I figured with all the off-the-field issues, they'd be suffering in the classroom as well.

That would require that they actually kick a guy off the team. :slappy:

Only 9 points seperate 3-7 and we send a lot more kids to the NFL than those teams so I'm fine with that ranking.

No one is ever going to beat NU.

I remember a few decades ago in Ohio Stadium, while beating Northwestern by several touchdowns, there fans would chant something like:

We don't care, that's OK,
They're be working for us someday!!! :biggrin:

I would be proud to call Greg Schiano my football coach. He's probably my favorite coach that doesn't wear a sweatervest.

NCAA: Teams could face harsh penalties for poor academics


By Michael Marot
Associated Press

Wednesday, May 07, 2008

INDIANAPOLIS ? NCAA president Myles Brand wants college teams concerned as much about academic scores as final scores. If they aren't, they might be barred from NCAA tournaments.
Brand warned the underachievers Tuesday, May 6, they could get hit with the NCAA's harshest sanctions ? fewer scholarships, reductions in practice and even postseason bans. Nearly 150 teams face potential scholarship losses and another 26 are on the brink of a postseason ban because of poor academics.
"Academic reform is here to stay, and those penalties resemble what we give for major infractions. So these are serious penalties, and there are a number of teams that received those," Brand said after releasing this year's Academic Progress Report. "Yes, there are individual institutions who have seen a steady decline (academically) over the last four years, and for them, the situation is dire."
Brand was mostly pleased with what he saw in the report.
