<p>well…i still think overall, being in the BIG 10 doesn’t help northwestern as much as it hurts it.</p>
<p>Having to put a football team and all of these sports teams together is very costly to the university.</p>
<p>To be honest with you, if NU wasn’t in the big 10, it would be a more selective university.</p>
<p>I have no idea how Duke (a big contender in sports) has such a selective student body. Northwestern could learn a few things from Duke in this respect.</p>
