Your Investment Hard At Work

Bowling Green State University's varsity athletics teams have enjoyed success on the playing fields, and BGSU's student-athletes have been successful in the classroom as well.

A total of 203 student-athletes had a GPA of 3.00 or higher in the fall, and 191 (47%) of BGSU's student-athletes currently maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or above for their collegiate academic careers, to date.

I think this adequately shows the dichotomy between the men's and women's teams. The women's teams are just head and shoulders above the men, not to mention the rest of the university.
