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.
By that logic, one would also conclude that it's harder to get in to Tech, and therefor have smarter people and should balance out. I mean, that's what we hear all the time, right? That the students are smarter? If the only difference is one is "easier" than the other, but smarter kids are going to the "harder" universities, then it should balance out.
