You mean you didn't see Michigan at the top of that list?
I can't say I dislike the Michigan wrestling program. Their coach seems like a really good guy. I'm not crazy about seeing them poach all the Ohio talent that they have, but most of their wrestlers seem like very good guys as well based on the interviews I've seen. This was an EXTREMELY down year for them, and I hope they become a very competitive team pretty soon. Next year they should be markedly better. I hope so, even if it's just to make give Iowa a couple fewer Big 10 champs :)

Unusual? Not at all. Unnecesary? Probably.
Or the discussion might be about the extrememly high academic ranking of the University. :)
Or about its constant position near the very top of the Director's Cup rankings of top athletic programs. :)
Or that UofM has the highest non-resident tuition among all public schools, because it can. :)
And, when I first went there and was listening to the Northwestern football game, I did find Bob Ufer quite annoying. See, I can be objective. LOL"

They tend to excel in a wide variety of sports and that's what it takes to win in the Director's Cup.

That is extremely impressive. Combine it with their academics, and they certainly have a legit claim to being America's premier university.

So I suppose seeing them TEN times is waaaaay too many for some? :)
Hey, Ohio State did have a nice little "run". Of a whole two years. LOL

Well, that's what happens when you have one of the largest endowments for a university in America, you can fling that cash at non-revenue making sports.

Give Stanford a little more credit than that.
Now perhaps they have such a large endowment because they are such a stellar academic university.

Speaking of stellar academic universities, congrats to the Miami Redhawks who just advanced to hockey's Frozen Four by sending Michigan home!
So, Ohio State prevents the Michigan football team from reaching a bowl game with a win in "The Game". Ohio State prevents the Michigan basketball team from reaching the NIT with a buzzer-beater in the Big Ten tourney. And now, Miami prevents the Michigan hockey team from reaching the Frozen Four.
Awesome. :)

Sadly (for me) I can't argue with that.
Days since Ohio State was last considered a better academic institution: Infinite

"Stellar" is a bit strong, but clearly the best of the Ohio publics.
