Interesting stats to look at. Clemson is number 3 at 75% of the top 25 teams. BC and Nebraska are much further ahead, but not bad. Intersting to see UGA at the bottom at 41%.

Where is your school?

Key point...

The current study examined student-athletes who entered school between 1997-00 and gives the student-athletes six years to graduate.

I'd like to see Mark Richt's current numbers.

no doubt there is some faults with it, but it is interesting to see how schools match up against each other. We'll have to see how it moves over the next couple years

1997-2000 = Mike DuBose :doh: Which means the players either never made it into school or left shortly after :lollol:

I would not consider 44% "not too bad" I am not sure how they rank of all 119 teams though, but it cannot be real high.

Exactly my thoughts.

The key is how many of them get degrees in Phys Ed.

If a player has a career ending injury, transfers, quits the team, or doesn't graduate, they will count against the numbers.

Not if they do it in good academic standing, right?

Nope, once they are off the team, they will count against the rates.

From article

The graduation success rate does not take into account student-athletes who transfer or turn professional in good academic standing. The current study examined student-athletes who entered school between 1997-00 and gives the student-athletes six years to graduate

At Clemson the main athlete degree is Parks and Recreation Management


But that is besides the point, isn't any college degree better than no degree?
