re: NCAA Graduation Success Rates

Do you really want a real, non-troll answer? Places like Georgia, Texas, Florida, Michigan and others have high admission standards among publics...and most football players would never be accepted if they didn't have an athletic scholly. Even Arch Manning admits he may not get into Texas if he wasn't an athlete, and it was only half joking. The diploma mills like Cincinnati are much easier to get athletes on a degree program that actually allows them to graduate. Vandy doesn't really lower their standards for athletes, they go there to actually play school.

While the general premise of your thread is correct. It is BS that you call out a place like Cincinnati for "degree programs". Literally half of the Texas team who has declared a major at UTx is in something called "Physical Culture and Sports". The curriculum in that program has classes such as "the History of Sports", "Women in Sports", "Racial aspects of Sports".

Even Stanford has a "jock" major.

Here at OU they stick them in "Multi-disciplinary studies" or "Human Relations".
