Stanford at Milwaukee today 4:00pm Pacific on ESPN+.  I believe this is a branch campus of University of Wisconsin.  Acceptance rate 86%; graduation rate 45%.

Milwaukee was 21-12 last year.  They have seven front row players 6'0" or taller on the roster.

The University of Wisconsin system looks like it has 25 campuses (more than I expected.) 13 of them are "comprehensive" and the other 12 are two-year branch campuses, so like community colleges.  Milwaukee appears to be the only campus other than the flagship in Madison to have R1 status from the Carnegie Classifications people.

I grew up in Milwaukee and went to University of Wisconsin-Madison.  At that time, the Madison campus was just "University of Wisconsin" and the Milwaukee branch was "UWM".  They later added "Madison" to the flagship campus name.  At some point in the 1970s they merged the more prestigious "University of Wisconsin" system with the "Wisconsin State University" system, in the name of efficiency/cost-saving.

And from another alum who grew up around Milwaukee - there is very little in the way of private colleges in Wisconsin. Marquette is by far the biggest at only about 8k. And then I don’t think any other private school is more than about 2500 kids. The public system plus Marquette dominates the state.

On a side note I loathe UWM - especially the athletic program. I won’t go into details, but it’s personal. Glad we finished it out tonight.
