What is up with UGA? I knew Bennet went for 8 year and didn’t get a degree. I guess more than half are on the same plan.

Do you really want a real, non-troll answer? Places like Georgia, Texas, Florida, Michigan and others have high admission standards among publics...and most football players would never be accepted if they didn't have an athletic scholly. Even Arch Manning admits he may not get into Texas if he wasn't an athlete, and it was only half joking. The diploma mills like Cincinnati are much easier to get athletes on a degree program that actually allows them to graduate. Vandy doesn't really lower their standards for athletes, they go there to actually play school.

You can't tell me uga doesn't have some nonsense degree athletes can finish. Look at the other high academic schools, even the ones you mentioned on that same list.

Sounds like Cincinnati is doing the best job of educating student athletes then.

The high school's tuition Arch went to borders on Tulane.

I'm sure he would have been fine without his name.

Just like it's a myth that GT has high admissions standards for their athletes and that they don't have an easy diploma track for them.

SAT Middle-50% of Admitted First-Year Students: 1310-1470
ACT Middle-50% of Admitted First-Year Students: 28-33
Middle-50% of AP, IB and Dual Enrollment Courses Taken: 8-12
Middle-50% of All Admitted First-Year Students: 4.04-4.32


Those are pretty high standards. I’d imagine comparable to the other schools you listed.

Anyone who believes the majority of those kids are at the school for academics has to be smoking crack

BTW, Bama has an impressive grad rate

Let's see, I don't believe the OP or the person he was responding to posted anything about admissions rates. . . checks notes. . ., yup, you're still a douchebag.

Are football players not athletes, or am I missing something? The whole graph is about football graduation rates

He's trying to be a smart arse because a GT fan brought up admissions rates.

Admission standards have zero to do with it. Academic support by the university and recruiting kids who are capable of doing the work impact it. Also, how is a transfer out calculated? That will have an impact as well.

I have seen the academic support at A&M first hand. If they cannot graduate with that kind of support, then they really didn't really try and/or your advisors let them choose an inappropriate major.

I cannot imagine any school with a major athletic program like the entire SEC doesn't have similar support. These programs support all athletes at the universities.

With the transfer portal, some of the calculation is going to have to change for these things or everyone is going to be near a damn 0 success rate. If you transfer out and you are in good standing, you should not count for or against this type of calculation.

what does tuition have to do with getting accepted? The Mannings don't have their name on any buildings at Texas, his grades and other criteria would have to meet admissions standards just like any other applicant.
