Outside of that, it's nothing more than a baseless fan pissing match.

I am not even following this argument, so don't pull me into this. I just read panerd's post and decided it was time to post an ginormous Block M for school pride and such.
Personally, I never really consider the Big Ten as anything other than an athletic affiliation. I never considered the academic reputation of any other Big Ten school as having any kind of an impact on the academic reputation or quality of academics at Michigan. I also never really considered that fans would have a pissing match over the quality of academics at other schools in the conference. Does that really happen? Weird.
