THE ARGUMENT GENERALIZES.

I've remarked previously about the Northern Illinois women's basketball team making the grade and taking it to the Ivies on the court.  The on-the-court returns weren't what the players or their fans were hoping for, on the other hand it didn't affect their work in the classroom.

The Northern Illinois University women's basketball team has been named to the 2019-20 Women's Basketball Coaches Association Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll as the WBCA announced on Tuesday.

The Huskies posted a 3.696 cumulative grade point average for the 2019-20 academic year which put them tied for 11^th on the NCAA Division I honor roll with South Dakota State. NIU is one of two Mid-American Conference programs among the top 25.

We're still waiting for word from headquarters about when there will be spectators returning to courtside.

For the duration of the quarantines, is there any reason to think that virtual education from the Ivies is any better from that provided in the mid-majors?
