[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 2015975, member: 590800"] I don't think good athletics can CREATE good academics ... in other words, if Kentucky is not a good school anyway, increased athletic revenues won't change anything. However, I think at a school like Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois, excitement and increased revenue generation around sports can only help the university. I frankly think people discount how many very bright students with great academic pedigrees might be down to a top three of, say, Wisconsin, Georgia Tech and Virginia, and they choose Wisconsin because all three will give them a phenomenal degree but UW will be the most enjoyable socially by far.
