There you go. About sums it up.

Grade Inflation: Colleges With the Easiest and Hardest Grades
Grade inflation has been raging for years on college campuses, but professors at some schools have never got the message to go easy on the grading.
Where do college students encounter the toughest grading? Stuart Rojstaczer, a former Duke professor, who created GradeInflation.com, compiled a list of schools earlier this year of the toughest graders.
At the 16 colleges and universities on the list, it's significantly harder to get A's than the typical campus. Not all of the schools have particularly low GPA's, but Rojstaczer observed that there are selective schools on this list that would prompt you to expect more A's.
Colleges & Universities With the Toughest Grades
East
Boston University
MIT
Princeton University
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Midwest/South
Auburn University

No, my argument is not absurd at all. Bama and saban make sure the academic support of their athletes is second to none. Those guys are going to pass no matter what. Then add in the fact grading is not hard at bama to begin with and bama should be #1.

Agreed. To think half these players can count to 10, let alone pass Calculus is laughable.

This is a discussion about academics fricking moron.
And bama cannot hold AU's jock in that arena, so you need to STFU and find something else to talk about where you can actually make a pro-bama point for once.

I'm not fighting that fight. I find the whole argument about better SEC schools to be lauhable. I know just as many AU, UA and UGA successful people as I do grads that live paycheck to paycheck. One of my best friend's dropped out of high school, got his GED and makes twice what I do. That argument is bullshite, as it's how hard you're willing to work and who you know more than your piece of paper hanging on the wall.

OP should probably include the criteria on which the rankings were based:
1. How a football team’s graduation rate compares to that of the school’s overall male student body;
2. How a team’s black-white graduation gap compares to the male black-white graduation gap in the general student population;
3. The spread between a football team’s black graduation rate and the school’s overall graduation rate for black men.

Perfectly said.

If FSU finished 25th with score of -5 where do schools like Auburn and Tennessee finish. That's quite a range from 1 to 25.
Isn't this just the top 25 rearranged by academics? AU and UT are not in the top 25, hence no ranking.

My wife graduated Auburn and was making $75k a year 3 years later. We had a kid and she decided corporate life wasn't for her. 3 years later, she's now a school teacher making $30k less a year and we're $60k in debt for her to be happy. None of us went to Harvard, so STFU already.

So FSU does a poor job of graduating their players?
