Texas is probably so low cause they get the outstanding athletes it takes to leave early for the NFL

There was also something in the OWH printed edition yesterday about how the NCAA uses a different equation to determine how graduation rates are determined. I'll try to find it.

 

I wouldnt want to be like Texass for anything

The schools lower on that list might be in trouble if the NCAA starts mandating minimum graduation rates and stuff like that.

I would, for another national championship!

the graduation rates will only matter to parents and those few athletes that value an education....the low rates are typical of schools that are "football factories"....

Notre Dame at 96? Texas that low? That has to be incorrect because the majority of Texas players stay all 4 years before leaving to go pro. Vince Young is coming back for example next year, Cedric Benson stayed all 4 years, Chris Simms and Applewhite stayed all 4 years. I will have to double check those rates because there is no way Florida's rate is that high. They are more in the 60's then 80's

If I'm not mistaken Mack Brown has never lost a player early to the NFL. I'm not 100% positive on that but I'm pretty sure I heard that somewhere.
