Agreed, it's good to see Urban hyping The Rivalry. I like that. Awesome. That's exactly what Hoke did with his infamous countdown clocks. Many posters on this board made comments about those simple clocks being so ridiculous, said Hoke was a joke, that he was overdoing it, got all bent out of shape, fat slob who does he think he is we're gonna kick his scUM ass, blah, blah, blah. Simple clocks, yet so much reaction. And now here we are, a year later, and suddenly Urban is... posting a sign which lists the fields of study of the two teams? That's his attempt at hyping the rivalry? Academics versus University of Michigan? Umm... okay. JMHO, I think Hoke's countdown clocks win this battle. I think any objective person would agree: Hoke 1, Urban O. Not to mention the sign is patently false according to research (link below to backup that statement):

Sorry guys, I've been trying not to be a such a douche this year, and I truly don't mean to flame, but c'mon, ya' gotta admit, seriously --- if you saw that sign anywhere else but in the WHAC, you'd all be like, "OMG, weakest attempt at claiming superiority over another team EVAHR!!!!"
I do hope Urban tries again, something else to hype The Rivalry. I think it's great to have the two coaches going at it like this.

Considering OSU was ridiculed for playing a player with a 0.0 gpa and had another who needed failing grades retroactively changed to A's, golf and AIDS awareness classes (which for the one term only gave all participants A's instead of grading on a curve) just to keep him academically eligible, I find the sign rather pathetic. Meyer needs to up his game if he's going to hype the rivalry.

Also, about your article. It is from a UM blog, it's not going to be unbiased and of course it's going to pick apart the sign. On a consistent basis, I would have to say that most major programs have most of the players pretty much taking nothing courses. Like that does point out, many of the Engineering majors and such OSU has on the sign are walk ons and don't even play. I have seen articles pointing out a couple players for Michigan who played and had respectable majors and completed them with a high GPA. You can look at OSU teams of the recent past and find similar results. Look no further than Molecular Genetics major and National Championship winning QB Craig Krenzel to find that. A little more recent I remember Antonio Smith ( think his name was Antonio) was an ME major and was a starting corner for at least 2 years. So it really goes both ways and you could find examples like that all over the country.

The seed for this was probably planted by the Jim Harbaugh interview where he suggested he was strongly encouraged not to pursue his desired major a U of M (history, I believe), and that apparently disappointed him. I can understand why. Harbaugh seemed to insinuate the coaching staff or some other group affiliated with the football program wanted him to go for a different major to presumably give him more "free" time to spend on other things (like football) or to help him remain eligible.
I've seen a lot of hype about this sign and also seen suggestions that this was photoshopped. Does anyone actually know for sure if this is real?
As for comparing the academics at OSU with those of U of M, you're comparing apples and oranges there. The universities have entirely different missions. OSU is a land grant school with the goal of offering excellent, affordable education to as many people as possible. U of M has very strict admissions requirements and caters to an entirely different set of students (and their parents). I believe the median family income of U of M students is well above $100,000. Fans of both institutions could debate which model is "better" 'til the cows come home and probably still would never reach agreement.
Finally, if this sign is real, it is only comparing majors of football players and begs the question to parents of recruits: what does one do with a General Studies major?
