I am definitely not arguing the merits of Mizzou at all. I went there obviously and think they did me right but I know plenty of guys from my high school that also got in that weren't the brightest bulbs in the world. I am just saying that a lot of Big Ten people (I live in St. Louis so we have a lot of Illinois and Iowa graduates at my work and in my neighborhood) claim that Mizzou is not up to the prestige of the Big Ten's academics. And for that I wonder what the hell they are talking about?
I remember you being a Pac-10 guy and I would never try to take on Cal, Stanford, UCLA, etc in a academic argument, but not sure where the Big Ten gets all their firepower.
