Eh, why even bother with things like graduation rates anymore? Guys are allowed to hang around in college for 6, 7 or 8 years. All the expansion stuff totally discounted any impact to the STUDENT-athlete. Nothing about today's college game is designed with the student-athlete in mind.

Education is no longer the goal when accepting a college football scholarship, so it is no surprise the grad rate is so bad.

the academic/educate part for most of these players has always been a charade. Lets just get it over with make attending classes/getting a degree an optional thing. As long as they are productive on the field- they can play.

The way Georgia's football team thumbs there noses at the NCAA rules, it's emabarrassing to even mention their football program and education in the same sentence. It's a football production association where it doesn't matter if you have questionable character or give a damn about following the Georgia penal code. It's a football mill that could give a crap if you graduate or not. Just win baby.

Right, in all of the reports about this transfer or that transfer from this team to that team, etc. I don't recall ever hearing a single mention about transfer credits. lol. For your typical college transfer student, making sure all your credits transfer can be a real hassle as the receiving school is often very finnicky about what they will accept. That, apparently, is a complete non-factor for transferring players.
