Grad Rate ?

[Dwan]

Anyone know what the grad rate is for our football players? Since we have such high admission standards, was curious what our graduation rate is?

Thanks

I heard 70, but I think it depends who you talk to, and what report you look at.

No matter what it is, its better than UT also known as rack em, stack em and pack em. The reason that the BCS is allowing the BE to stay BCS is to keep a majority of 1-Aschools in BCS. Otherwise, they'd suddenly find a playoff. However, in reality there are non-BCS that are every bit as bad if not worse than the BCS schools. UTEP, Fresno, San Jose, Nevada are not exactly beacons of light in this area. I'd wager that Marshall has a large number of academic casualties (not to mention inbreds, but that's another story). In reality, there are probably about 14 schools that really care about graduating students in 1-A. SMU, Rice, Tulane, Northwestern, Stanford, USC, Duke, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, Tulsa, Navy, Army, ND and AFA. I don't think Michigan, BYU, or Miami worry as much as these about grad rates. Note that of these schools only five were bowl eligible this year.
