Hell,reciting your ABC's at Nebraska will get you an "A" in Lincoln. Could it be because their classes are so easy and and the grade inflation that goes with it makes the academic All American moniker easier to achieve at Nebraska?

I love it when people don't know what they are talking about! ;)

Go to the Verizon/CoSIDA web site, the organization which is responsible for the Academic All-American program and makes sure that programs meet certain standards, etc.

As of August 2001, Nebraska has the highest number of first-, second- and third- team Academic All Americans in the nation with 181. More than Notre Dame. More than MIT. More than UCLA.

Nebraska student-atheletes earned 13 NCAA Today's Top Eight Awards, more than any other school. The football team has nine, the most of any individual sport in the nation.

So, know what you talk of! ;)
