Cool, that has nothing to do with which one has better academics.

And yes, I'm fully aware that the article you linked in the OP takes in different metrics like graduation rates and whatnot. That has nothing to do with which school is better.

It has at least some impact in regards to the academics of the actual players. Not the institution as a whole, but the football program and its relation to it. What's better, a degree from Alabama or no degree from Tech?

But no, I would never make the argument that Tech is below Alabama academically as an entire institution. That would be absurd. Tech is one of the top institutions in the country.

Wouldn't the shittier school graduate their players at a higher rate? Sticking with our existing comparison, it's a hell of a lot easier to graduate from Bama than it is from GT.
