This isn't highschool. Cheerleaders are athletes. I don't think the school picks the best looking of our 28,000 students to be cheerleaders. You are a moron.
BTW
Our athlethes aren't known to be dumber than the average student, sorry about yours.

I don't think the school picks the best looking of our 28,000 students to be cheerleaders. of course there are exceptions....but are you saying that cute hs cheerleaders don't go on to become cheerleaders in college and that non-cheerleaders in hs become cheerleaders in college? Really? Well, I now see why you're in the 4th tier... |

I kinda liked going to Marquette parties and bars. The chics bought ME beers!  I never made it to a party at UIC. Our cheerleaders never have been and doubtfully never will be a good representation of the hotties on campus at UWM. (course, what would I know, I'm 34 and married now) It's a commuter school where it's hard enough to get people to athletic events, let alone put on those cheerleader outfits. (which look to be so Happy Days on my fuzzy TV in Denver) T |

Big D,
You might want to take note of this side of Panther athletes before criticizing the efforts they put forth...
UWM Lands League-Best 67 On Academic Honor Roll
Panther student-athletes excel again in classroom
July 3, 2006
Full Academic Honor Roll List
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee placed 67 student-athletes on the Horizon League's Spring Academic Honor Roll.
That number tied Butler for the most in the league, continuing a trend of stellar academic performance by UWM atudent-athletes. For the spring semester, UWM student-athletes again compiled a department-wide grade-point average of better than 3.0.
The list of honorees from UWM is highlighted by 12 student-athletes apiece from both women's soccer and women's track and field/cross country. The list also includes seven members of the women's volleyball team and women's swimming and diving team along with six people apiece from men's track and field/cross country, men's soccer and men's swimming and diving. There were also five women's basketball players, three baseball players, two women's tennis players and one men's basketball player honored.
Members for the Horizon League Academic Honor Roll must meet three criteria in order to qualify: 1) participation in at least one of the League's 19 sports during the most recent (or current) season; 2) completion of three semesters (or four quarters, where applicable) as a full-time student at the same member institution; and 3) a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.25 (on a 4.00 scale).

With athletes, they are known to be dumber than the average student...so they are not a good representation of the rest of the student body's intellect. But if that's the logic you're using than you probably don't want to hear that UWM's graduation rate for men's basketball is the worst in the HL (yes, even lower than UIC's).... Actually that's old news. Last year six of our seven seniors graduated and the seventh is finishing up some course work to get his degree in the fall. I don't think anyone is doing better than a 100% graduation rate. |

I don't think anyone is doing better than a 100% graduation rate. If at first they don't graduate....inflate grades. It's probably not that hard to pass at a 4th-tier school....that's just like doing high-school all over again  I'm curious....how many of those 7 were transfers? I'm just giving you guys a hard time....all this MU talk is making you crazy... |

Women are great at UWM. We're a commuter school, yes, T-Bone, but 14,000 people live on campus. When I started UWM, last year, I couldn't turn around without seeing some fine ladies.

14,000 on campus and from what many of the student body and my mother has told me (a UWM graduate school alum who also happens to be a good friend of Mr Prisod Dean of the Business Administration) around 80 percent live within a 5 mile radius.
