Almost the highest. Stanford and Northwestern are tougher on admissions, but they also have more flexibility to allow athletic exceptions than does the flagship state school in Madison.

I can't imagine how much more booze they would be selling if the place was packed.

I'm certain OSU fans donated a lot of money. I heard there were close to 25K of them at Camp Randall.

Seems a bit excessive, in a state that's famous for drinking beer and overeating.

Both of which have absolutely nothing to do with the standing of one of the top universities in the world.
