<p>Northwestern is a great school, but unfortunately it does seem to compel people affiliated with it to endlessly argue about mediocore football programs.</p>
<p>Great job staying on topic UCBChemEGrad and k&s! Keep up the good work!!!</p>

Geez dude, I was saying they are comparable bowl games...</p>
<p>Out of the 30 or so bowl games listed by payout, the Sun Bowl and the Alamo Bowl are pretty close. I was dividing the payout to show your claim of it being a "better" bowl by payout is pretty minor.

<p>Geez dude - I guess $350k is inconsequential to you (and sorry, dividing the payout among the conference schools doesn't make the disparity in payout any less - lol!).</p>
<p>And the Teddies are currently projected to go to the Emerald and not the Sun Bowl (the payout for the Emerald bowl: $850k).</p>

Of course there are recruiting restrictions...NU and Cal football both fall under the same recruiting rules governed by the NCAA. "State school" has nothing to do with it...except make you seem snobbish.

<p>LMAO!!</p>
<p>You can't be that naive/ignorant.</p>
<p>UCB has the same recruiting restrictions as a school like UM - the NCAA minimum.</p>
<p>Northwestern, otoh, has an academic req. that is a bit higher than the NCAA minimum (cutting down significantly the pool of players that NU coaches can recruit).</p>
<p>In addition, Cal takes a lot of JUCO transfers from time to time. NU doesn't.</p>
<p>Pfft, North Central is 45 minutes away. At least. And at my school, Columbia's known for letting anyone with half a brain in. I think that it's pretty much those first four mentioned - Northwestern/UChicago being tied for the best followed by DePaul, then Loyola.</p>
<p>could you look at my stats in the thread titled "some help...please" (it's just a few threads below this one at the moment) and tell me if I would have even a small chance at uchicago or NU? Thanks so much.</p>

<p>Insert another quarter? I don't think an extra quarter would be enough given the dominant peroformance of those cats and the fact that the Bears aren't known for great comeback; that belongs to the Cats...hence the nickname Cardiac Cats Lake</a> The Posts - Northwestern Football Blog: Cardiac Cats - A Brief History :D</p>

<p>2007-08</a> First-time, first-year (freshman) admission, Common Data Set - Northwestern University
20% of the students enrolled scored between 24 and 29 on ACT</p>
<p>NU and Uchicago definitely...the only two that comes to mind as i'm not familiar w/colleges there at all</p>
