I would hardly call this an "article", but I read the tweet. It says nothing about academics.

Are you guys actually trying to besmirch the spotless reputation of Willie Dynamite?! :wtf2:
Just doing a little bit of information gathering. Nothing wrong with making friends with AAA guys, but that's hardly enough to qualify someone to speak intelligently on Big Ten academics.

He called it "half-assed, unemphasized"

Therefore I must respect his opinion.

Irrelevant and already debunked.

Usually it's the Ohio State, Michigan State and Nebraska fans who get so irate about laughable B1G academic standards. Take out Michigan, Wisconsin and Northwestern and its fucking SHAMEFUL how bad B1G academics plummet.

:noidea: This kind of stuff is kind of "meh" for me. Nebraska's not the highest ranked school in the world (although it is improving) but I went to school to get a good job, not to say "I went to the X ranked school in the country!" I graduated from Nebraska and got a good job. Student athletes going to NU have the same opportunity.

Fair enough! I respect your honesty and wish more B1G'ers were as candid.

Interesting stuff here

The ROI for schools in 2016, meaning how much money do grads make vs how much it cost them for education

PayScale College ROI Report: Best Value Colleges

Stanford #6
Colorado School of Mines #7

Michigan #36
Illinois #54
Purdue #57
Texas #79
Maryland #87
Northwestern #95
Vanderbilt #98

I think education is okay in the B1G, especially when compared to the other Power 5 conferences.
