It is the same way with a lot of schools to echo Dosch's point. Florida is the 2nd best academic institution in the SEC but their athletes don't often graduate with real degrees that offer earning potential outside of football.  Although, to be fair, we have all of this college debt because of all the social science majors who are paying 40K a year to go to college and make 40K a year. Wait, I blacked out, what happened?

There is a difference between Michigan the school and the education the football players get.

I hate Michigan just as much as anyone here, but I don't really understand your point.  Michigan has a great medical school and their pre-med program obviously benefits from being closely connected to their top-notch hospital and medical program.  We've even sent ND athletes to get checked out by Michigan doctors at the Ann Arbor hospital.  I absolutely hate Michigan, but I think you're a little off on this one, unless I'm misunderstanding your point.
