So let me get this straight.
Is Bill saying that scum and NU recruit from the smaller pool of ******ed players and all the other Big Ten schools have to recruit from the larger pool of normal players?

NU's minimum required ACT/SAT score FOR ATHLETES is higher than the average ACT/SAT score of the AVERAGE STUDENT at Michigan State.
I don't mean to rag on my own school... but come on, taking it out on NU?
Michigan wants to be like NU and often associated its name in sketchy ways to NU... but Michigan is no NU, especially not when it comes to the requirements for its athletes.
My brother was friends with a defensive back at NU back when they went to that crazy bowl game against UCLA. He wasn't allowed to play in the bowl game because he failed a JUNIOR LEVEL CLASS at Northwestern...
