Baylor Academic Woes

Post by Stallion »

...did anyone see that note in the DMN where the new coach was quoted as saying that as many as 20 Baylor FB players are in academic jeopardy for the coming year. What's the story behind the story there. Boy that could really make things difficult for Baylor if a number like that weren't allowed to participate in spring drills.

Does not say much for the kind of player Kevin Steele was recruiting.

to be fair Baylor has shown more improvement in graduation rates than just about any program in the country. They were in th 70% range in the last few years and I believe led the Big 12. I wonder if this was a wakeup call by a new coach?
