Georgia lets you take as many pass/fail classes as you want for credit but after a number of hours they don’t count towards graduation.

Guess which school has the worst graduation rates?

Alabama says hello.

How many of UGA's uneducated ghetto thugs will be out of the league and dead broke in 5 years.

Getting a degree from UAT is like being named the world's shortest giant. Hell, my dog could get a degree from UAT. UAT is an embarrassment as an academic institution.

Let me know where we are tailgating prior to watching these kids bubble in scantrons and fill in blue books.

Pre-NIL/transfer portal, we at least had to pretend about the student part of student-athlete. That doesn't matter anymore and lamenting that major CFB is de facto minor league NFL is some old man yells at clouds shite.

Why pretend anymore. Schools are football factories now for these athletes. Brought to you by the geniuses that decided to turn amateur athletics on it’s ear.

The reason for going to college is to make money for these athletes. Mission accomplished.

How many has Bama, while also maintaining a 93% graduation rate?

At some schools it's possible to be successful on the field and in the classroom

I have been consistent about it. And this specific stat has been posted here before.

You can go thru my post history and see my consistency, and not just in the application to UGA.

Every one here who went to a school other than Vandy got to see the student athletes skate in class. The tutors assigned by the AD did the vast majority of the school work for the "student"-athletes. It has to be even worse now that online classes are so prevalent.

ETA- I have over 10K posts on here and quite a few of them are shitting on the Barn. You aren't going to find me making any reference to the sociology scam from a few years back. Every public college has had an academic path available to student-athletes that was not an option for the student-non-athlete.

I think you’re ignoring that fact that other schools on this list have 80-100% graduation rates. Just because you’re using to seeing this at Georgia doesn’t mean it’s normal for everyone else.

I would bet grades will be even worse with NIL making classes irrelevant other then to stay eligible

NIL could get some players to stay an extra year to at least get closer to graduating and we've seen a decline in those fringe players declaring for draft
