How embarrassing. These schools should be punished until they get their graduation rates higher. I would take 1-2 scholarships away from these schools. Does STUDENT ATHLETES mean anything to these schools? :banghead: SEC has 3 schools under 30%. :nono: What a proud conference. :nooo:
Head of the Class :clap:
School Grad. Rate
1. Boston College 95 percent :hail

I think these schools should be rewarded and given an extra scholarship. :thumb:

That is strange, because I also found this about Ole Miss from CollegeFootballNews.com
http://www.collegefootballnews.com/2004/Recruiting/PositiveTrait_SEC.htm
Mississippi - Mississippi just completed a fund raising effort of $526 million upgrading every area of the school. It's among the top 30 public institutions with largest endowments per student. UM had 90 student-athletes named to SEC Academic Honor Rolls during 2000-01. Records indicate 79 percent of Rebel football players graduate, the highest percentage in the SEC. Football: Like most SEC schools, the game day atmosphere is amazing with amazing tailgating and the "Walk of Champions" arch. Eli Manning showed an Ole Miss player can be in the Heisman hunt, two straight bowl wins showed that the rest of the team wasn't all that bad either.

Texas - UT is No. 2 in the nation, behind Harvard, in the number of Merit Scholars in it's freshman class and was ranked No. 16 among public universities (and 49th overall) by US News & World Report in 2001 staying in the prestigious first tier. The library has been ranked among the five best in the US. Football: At some point, Texas will catch all the right breaks and be in the national title hunt. Every year, head coach Mack Brown assembles a who's who of high school talent with a great array of stars. What's most interesting is that the stars choose to stick around. Ricky Williams, Quentin Jammer, Roy Williams and Cedric Benson all prolonged a multi-million dollar payday to come back for their senior seasons, so there must be something about the program, and Austin, that keeps everyone around. This is one of the most talented teams in the nation, and will be so for years to come.

These numbers are bad but also are misleading. If a player transfers it counts against you even if you he graduates at another school. If a player died it would count against his school. As for UT, as an example, 1998 was the year Brown was hired, so a number of Mackovic recruits never came to UT or were run off. All of those count against the graduation rate. So if this number is for the 1998 players, which I believe it is, at least for UT it is essentially meaningless. I understand that last year OU's basketball grad rate was published as Zero percent, but there were only 2 guys in the class and both had transferred. So while this is certainly an issue, one cant just take these numbers and extrapolate some big meaning to them.
I understanfd the grad rates are much better with Mack's recruits, but I am a cynic. Anything less than 100% to me is pretty unacceptable for any school. They are all supposed to go to class arent they? Heck, I have a problem with many of these players getting into these schools. Do you guys really believe that Rice's national champion baseball team is full of players who would otherwise get in that school?

this ought to put a dent in their graduation rates. these are players from Texas A&M's team. the last 3 were freshmen.
Dustin Long - transferred to SHSU
Derek Farmer - transferred to SFA
Anthony Wright - left
Kelvin Flood - left
Lamar Mitchell - transferred to UH
Randall Webb - booted off last spring
Brandon Johnson - same as Webb
Tate Pittman - kicked off
Quentin Holman - kicked off
Wade Lightsey - kicked off
what's crazy is that they've had 5 players arrested within the last few weeks. here's an article:

that is all bs and unless you coached in d1 you will have no clue, if you bring in a juco player which most programs do or a transfer and they get there degree it does not count towards the gr avg, wvu had 11 out of 15 sr's get degree last year but only 6 counted towards gr% and pitt also uses tons of juco and transfers as well as most schools, some like vandy, nd, stanford , duke most acc schools except clemson and fsu will not take a juco transfer even with grades , it just is not done because of gr% and losing grant in aid money over it. biggest crock of shit ever wrote by dumbass si who writters are just that a writer who has never coached or played past tball as most sports writers and sports talk show host, know the ncaa rules before you try and print something that is slanted.
