The most recent numbers reflect the incoming classes from 2007 to 2010. Of that group, 98 percent graduated within six years or left in good academic standing.
That number ranks first in the SEC, ahead of Vanderbilt at 90 percent.
That's eight percentage points ahead of the nearest competition for you non-graduating readers. EIGHT

That number is tied for fourth nationally, behind Harvard, Northwestern and Dartmouth and with Brown and Columbia (N.Y.).

They're kinda glossing over that particular criterion, aren't they? Leaving in good academic standing isn't the same as graduating. I'm not even sure what it means -- couldn't a freshman who aced all first semester classes and then decided to just quit school to deal drugs be said to have "left in good academic standing?"

Arky is only that low because all the non NFL caliber players (oh wait that’s the whole team) realized they don’t need a college degree to be greeted at Wal Mart

Stop questioning things and be happy with your runner-up t-shirts. Even if that were true that would simply mean we also win the Conference Championship in finding loopholes.
Congrats to everyone that competed.
Everyone point and laugh at anyone who didn't score above 59.

Hey, I wasn't attacking the accomplishment or anything. Good for y'all. I mean, it could just mean your athletes aren't going pro so they just hang around until they get a degree, but I would never point that out.
But, seriously, I got too much Vandy in me. I want to know why they added that and what it means.

That's why y'all are 90 but the answer is because it's the State. They hate us and they're fake news, except for this one story....but they still have to add their little "In good standing" qualifiers and technical jargon to try to take away from our championship.

I think it's because of all those track and field people who go pro.
(Yes, I know it's for football, but I wanted to troll them and their bragging about t&f)

The lull between graduation and finding a job has really allowed me to hone my craft

Seems like a more lucrative career choice than selling flood insurance or being a recruiter.
Good on them!
