GT graduates its African American Athletes

[RamblinRed]

New study from the Univ of Pennsylvania looking at graduation rates of African American student athletes vs all student athletes, all African American students, all stiudents.

GT is one of the few schools that does pretty well overall on all those comparisons (FWIW, the SEC is awful).

Here is the article that brought the study to my attention

This should be required reading for recruits and administrators.

Cal Berkley one of the lowest? Wonder if a certain 2016 recruit with the initials DR saw that...

The top 6 schools with the best AA grad rates are the "elite" academic schools of the P5. Funny how your grad rates are high when your entrance requirements are higher than the typical sports mill. The ACC is doing a good job of graduating AA SAs.

UNC is pretty awful....just think how much worse they'd be if they weren't counting all those fake degrees!!!
