    But unlike Willingham, Petersen seems to have already gotten some results on that front.

    The Details: ‘It Is Very Cool To Be Smart’

    When Chris Petersen arrived at Washington, he made it clear his players would be as committed in the classroom as they were on the field.

    “It has really always been our belief as coaches that our most squared away students are going to be our best players,” Washington’s football coach said. “If you have a bunch of 3.0 students, you should eventually have a bunch of good, solid players.”

    Petersen is creating a culture where “it is very cool to be smart.” To facilitate that idea, the Huskies make a point to celebrate success in the classroom. From the 3.0 board mounted in football offices, to the team meeting each quarter that points out and praises each student who earned a spot on that list, academic achievement is built into the fabric of this program.
    Pieces like this must make Steve Kelly roll in his grave.

    Stanford and MIT are "elite institutions." The UW is mostly selective. I've heard tales that they take transfers from NSCC not far from the 7/11 on Aurora. Elite!

    For 99% of the student athletes, UW is an elite institution.

    you assholes realize that burying the post is not the same as some kind of counterargument. The fact is that the UW is NOT an elite school. Some/certain departments are hard to get in to, like engineering, but that is mostly due to lack of funds. The engineering school is on par with the most peer schools. If you say the UW is elite then you might as well call a whole lot of its peers elite, which means it is not elite, only average.

    actually I would say engineering is above average, not elite though. Better than WSU.

    It's not Stanfraud, an Ivy, or a "public Ivy," but it's a good school. It's better than Central. ;)
