I know we’re at the bottom of the world, but it reads good.

Link to the data for the Big ten:

Graduation Success Rate

No one who talks about GSR (or at least 98% of those who talk about it) can tell you what it actually is, or what meaning it has - but there are the numbers anyway (those are for the overall athletic programs - you can also search for single-sport specific).
PSU just about dead middle of the Big 10 - which is a significantly better standing than last year - especially for football. Iowa is the low point at "88", Northwestern on the high end at "98".
FWIW, of the new Big Ten members (not included in that data, will fall in as Big ten members in next year's data) USC and Washington are above PSU, with UCLA and Oregon lower.

These are single year data - and will vary quite a bit year to year.
Someone who wanted to go pull up and average multi-year data averages.

NIL money obviously can pay for a lot of tutors.

Athlete's have access to the Morgan Center, which offers all kinds of services such as Tutoring, Counseling, etc. No reason for any of them to not succeed if they possess the desire. Oh, if you want a laugh, or cry, take a look at the "Eligibility" requirements found in the link below.

At any university you need to have a specific gpa to graduate. That gpa is set by the faculty (or it was at my own school), and typically, give or take, it’s 2.0 or 2.25 with a 2.5 or so in your major. The eligibility requirements I read at the link you provided are in line with the graduation requirements. For example, at the end of summer semester of your second year you need to have passed 40% of the credit hours you need to graduate.
