[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 465830, member: 1045"] Probably worth reminding folks of the study by USC earlier this year that looked into recent athlete graduation rates and, specifically, for African Americans. Tech and UGA were actually found to have similar [U]overall[/U] athlete graduation rates at 70% for Tech and 68% for Georgia. That is not the whole story though. When looking specifically at basketball and football, the study found that 57% of basketball and football players at Tech are African American, while 72% of basketball and football players at UGA are African American (compared to only 3% of total undergraduates). And when they focused, specifically, on those players, there is an enormous, Grand Canyon sized gap between the two schools. Tech was found to have the 6th [U]highest[/U] graduation rate for African Americans at 70% (behind only Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Stanford, and Duke). In contrast, UGA had the 2nd [U]lowest[/U] graduation rate for African Americans at 36% (ahead of only LSU). More than that, while Tech graduates both African American and other athletes at the exact same rate (70%), the drop in graduation rates for African Americans at UGA (from 68% for all athletes to 36% for African Americans) was among the highest in the country. In other words, when looking at graduation rates for Tech football and basketball compared to UGA, the difference night and day. Tech is a national leader, while UGA is pretty embarrassing. Regardless of anything else on the field with CPJ, we should all be proud of this accomplishment. [URL]https://race.usc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2018_Sports_Report.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
