[NU Sports] EDUCATION: Male students' grades drop when football teams win

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

I would say that this is true ...

The only two grades where I dipped below what I felt was acceptable at NU (A/B) was one in the winter quarter of 1994 (NU's NIT hoops run) and the fall quarter of 1995 (Rose Bowl).

So this has a ring of truth to it. :)
