Bowl Teams vs College Teams

Postby magnolialeague » Tue Dec 06, 2005 1:02 pm

This year's bowl-bound college football teams are struggling to meet the NCAA's new academic standards, with 41 percent falling below minimum requirements and almost half lacking a 50 percent graduation rate, according to a survey released Monday.

This isn't the case in the Magnolia League, where real college football still reigns:

I'd be happy with 0% rate. I'm here to get an education, and I can choose to become a better athlete. Football players are here to play football - they can choose to get an education.
