Pretty silly that Wisconsin has higher athletic academic admissions than schools that are better academically than them. (Michigan, etc). But hey if they want to keep hemorrhaging their best recruits more power to them
It's absolutely a good school, but they're turning down guys that would get let into Michigan, UVA, or Cal. The fact that athletes admissions standards is the hill they're choosing to die on is pretty funnyLook man, I hate UW sports, but let's be honest, UW is a very fine institution, just like the UofM and most B1G schools.
That said, I have nothing but positive thoughts about them losing solid recruits.
One of their 4 star RB recruits. With another lined up for next year. And a good one that will probably be back in 2016. They'll be fine in that department.

Do we have a scholarship available?
Apparently the kid got a Wisconsin "W" as a tattoo.

Sounds like a decision that someone who can't pass admissions would make.
When you end up allowing athletic ability to trump all else, you end up like FSU.
Very successful and winning lots of titles?
Imagine if he referenced 1997 Gopher basketball?
It's not a bad thing to have some academic standards. Props to UoW for sticking to them.
Keep in mind........the UoM has denied players in the past few years for a number of reasons. Academics included.
Absolutely correct. Last year, I compared Minnesota and Wisconsin admission requirements and they are very close. Their admission statistics are also close.
I used the information provided by each University that covers all students. I realize some colleges make it much easier for athletes to gain admittance. However, I don't think either Minnesota nor Wisconsin make these exceptions.
From the information I found, Minnesota has slightly harder admission requirements (Minnesota needs an additional class in the arts, where that same class can be in any subject for Wisconsin).

Right...
