[QUOTE="steebu, post: 472574, member: 740"] It's an interesting point: O'Leary had one of the worst graduation rates - in the high 40's and low 50's - during his tenure. I don't know that his recruiting classes would have been much better than Gailey's or Johnson's given the APR and what it is today. Johnson's graduation rate hit an all-time high in the 80's this past year. As Johnson has pointed out, the APR "punishes" schools that care about academics (think Rice, Purdue, Northwestern) and doesn't do squat for schools that hide their athletes behind made-up degrees. At GT there's nowhere to hide: NCAA: "Is so-and-so making progress towards his Civil Engineering degree?" GT: "Well, he's struggling a bit in calculus, but he'll be OK by springtime." NCAA: "Is so-and-so making progress towards his 'Using Your Smartphone To Tweet' degree?" UGA: "Well, he's struggling a bit turning his phone on, but he'll be OK by springtime." [/QUOTE]
