Here is another link to their site. It looks like they are some kind of policy group. I figured they might be political, which MIGHT be their main focus...but they obviously dabble in sports a bit, too.

The final paragraph gets me

quote:

But no matter how you slice the numbers, as we go into bowl-game season, the study reminds us of the shortcomings of college sports. For 19 of the top 25 football teams — or 76% — their federal graduation rates are lower than those of the overall student population. On 22 of the top 25 college football teams — or 88% — more than 30% of the players fail to graduate. Using the more generous, and probably fair, measure — the GSR — 15 out of the top 25 college football teams (60%) fail to graduate more than 30% of their players.

That’s just not a winning game plan.
