Don't blame Cecil. They haven't done anything to remind him they're actually in the SEC now.

Does APR stand for grade inflation?

I believe these are football program scores only.

Mississippi State (970.73) 13.
LSU (967.63)
14. Texas A&M (964.50)
These are overall scores from all sports - at least the ones Mizzou participates in.

Alabama is the definition of scholar athlete.
Posted on 6/11/13 at 5:01 pm to CheeseburgerEddie
The fact bama is not at 1000.00 shows you just how dumb a lot of their athletes are. You REALLY have to try extremely hard to fail anything at bama accademically.

not true. Alabama is a fine academic institution.
Three athletes named academic all-americans in the past week.
LINK
That link is from 2010 but shows about three or four years back of outstanding academic achievement.

I have said numerous times on this board, that the quality of education is in large part the responsibility of the student. You can skate and get by at nearly any institution. You can also take advantage of the knowledge your professors have through a little work and dedication.
And the link shows you that Alabama had more USA academic All Americans than any other institution in the country that year.

I agree with this. But if I were the parent of a college football player, I'd want them in a program that also places a high importance on academic achievement and getting their degree. Some schools are better at this than others. Alabama seems to be one of them, as is Mizzou.
Posted on 6/11/13 at 5:48 pm to semotruman
Don't take this the wrong way... but the education rests more on the efforts of the student than that of the university.
I understand that some schools will more easily fail a kid than give a passing grade (and thus not all GPAs are created equal).
But the effort is still 100% on the student. Not the university.
You take from your education what you put into it.

Oh, I agree - the responsibility lies with the student. But I do think some programs place a greater emphasis on academic success than others, and offer more academic support to their student athletes. That's all I'm saying.
I think that a kid can get a great education at any SEC school - but he would get better support from the athletic program at some schools than others.

Apparently the standards aren't any higher at Mizery than they are at ar-kansas.

LSU has graduated 80% of its football players (second only to Vanderbilt) for the last 2 years.
Football Graduation Rates: SEC
Vanderbilt 85%
LSU 77%
Florida 75%
Alabama 75%
Missouri 73%
Georgia 69%
Texas A&M 69%
Kentucky 65%
Auburn 64%
Mississippi St. 60%
Mississippi 59%
Tennessee 58%
South Carolina 55%
Arkansas 54%
quote:
LSU and Florida have GSRs of 77% and 75%, which seems reasonably good on the surface. But these two schools have big differences between their GSRs and their federal graduation rates.
Both LSU and Florida have a federal graduation rate of 49%, which is not good at all. The low federal grad rates indicate that these two programs lose a lot of scholarship players, whether through transfer or otherwise.
Their graduation rates for the players who stay are decent, but that doesn't tell the whole story because it doesn't reflect numerous departures.
For example, LSU's Graduation Success Rate of 77% appears to be based on 41 graduates out of 53 incoming scholarship players over a four year period.
LSU's 49% federal graduation rate for that same period appears to be based on 41 graduates out of 83 scholarship players.
The GSR methodology allowed LSU to exclude from the calculation 30 players who departed from the program. Those 30 departing players are included in the federal graduation rate.
So, despite its apparently respectable GSR of 77%, fewer than half of the incoming scholarship players at LSU actually graduated from LSU.

and offer more academic support to their student athletes.
Every school will give equal resources to the student athlete. And by that... I mean resources absolutely not available to the general student population.
Some schools, however, won't tolerate joke courseloads and half-assed efforts in the classroom. And that's where the value of specific universities come in. A 4.0 at a Missouri means something different in the business world than a 4.0 at Alabama. A 4.0 at Stanford means something different than a 4.0 at Auburn.
And that is what gets recognized in the business world. That's the benefit (which has to be earned) at a more prestigious university.
It doesn't mean that the 4.0 athlete at Auburn worked any less than the 4.0 at Stanford. But it means that the majority of the 4.0s at Auburn did't have to work as hard as the majority of 4.0s at Stanford. And thus the general consensus in the business world reflects that higher attention to excellence.

Most business don't even look at your GPA, other than to throw any applications that don't meet the requirement in the trash. It is the truth.
