Michigan stands alone?
ESPN's Adam Rittenberg posted a short piece about the National Football Foundation's Honor Society and I was surprised to see that Michigan was the only team in the Big Ten + Nebraska not to have at least ONE selection. The conference had 29 selections including six each by the Hoosiers and Buckeyes.
How can that happen at one of the conference's top-two academic institutions?
Your title implies something good.
<br>Alas, no.
Depends what the requirements are. I'd have to think with Terrelle Pryor being named Academic All-B10 that all schools don't have the same academic standards...
being named to the academic all-conference team is a bigger embarassment to the B1G than our (the conference's, not just UM's) cumulative bowl record for the past few seasons and MSU's criminal record combined.
This may sound clichéd, but I am so glad he picked tsio... can you imagine how embarassing it would be for someone to have posted his paper online had he chosen Michigan?
I thought this would be good news, now I haz much sadness, and it's all your fault
That's me...!
I thought the question mark would prevent folks from thinking it was about good news.
Maybe some of the comments are correct, that Michigan's tougher academic standards compared with less rigorous standards at some of the land-grant schools are the reason for UM being the only B1G school without an honoree.
In theory, this could be viewed as a credit to the rigor of this school, since the vast majority of football recruits don't have normal U-M academic credentials. But . . . yeah. We should have at least a handful of high-achievers.
Based on grades, not actual use of time in school=Wildly inconsistent results from program to program.
WHO CARES
I am almost afraid to say anything for fear of rehashing a debate we are all very very sick of, but I do not expect that this will be the case two years from now.
Good idea, I know exactly what youre thinking and a couple months ago I said it and got neg bombed.
will have something to say about this when he gets here.

Remember kids, C's get degrees!
I'm pretty sure this is Rich Rod's fault.

I think the bigger question is how can the 114 other players on OSU's roster suck that bad that they can't even get straight A's in OSU's classes?
...EVAR in 2009-10. Really now, RichRod?
