I'll preserve the location in the article that Aschafly thinks this material deserves. I think comparison among the Big Ten seems fair since they are all broadly comparable institutions. I think "among the lowest in the Big Ten" is fair since it's in the bottom three, and its score of 0.22 isn't very far from Iowa's 0.17. I don't think the use of the word "only" is appropriate without any rationale for what the percentages ''should'' be, but I'll leave it.
