I was just looking to compare other programs with high academic standards to 
point out that none  consistently compete for national titles,  nor go to 
major bowls in most years.  (Except ND) I believe that a program that takes  prop 
48 kids(if that is still the rule number--it may have changed) is not a 
program i  think compares with us- That is a different set of standards- If none of 
these other programs can successfully compete at the highest levels, I think 
it is unrealistic for us to expect that we can except in a small amount of 
years when we get a perfect storm  going our way ---(1995/1996 we didn't play OSU 
in either year, we had a bunch of kids come together at the right time, we had 
overachievers, etc etc.)--This just isn't going to happen too often-
