Do you understand why it is critical for players to graduate specifically within the football program?

If you're asking whether I know the specific rules/regulations/policies the football program needs to meet in terms of graduation, then no, I do not.

I have more than anecdotal knowledge and can confirm to you that the football " academic" advisor's primary goal is to keep you eligible. They have a lot of money riding on a football player to not only stay eligible, but to graduate.

If you have empirical evidence, I'd love to see it. Common sense says there is a problem here, but I think many in this debate have painted athletics in general (and football in specific) with a very broad brush. Evidence and thoughtfulness are needed, or else we'll end up with knee-jerk reactions that will do nothing but damage further college athletics.
