I have a hard time buying Nebraska and K-State' s stats on this. Also, no friggin' way eight schools graduate over half their players.

Nebraska lets anyone be on the team that wants to be. They carry hundreds of players, and have the most scholar-athletes because of this. Most of their players are there for an education - same as Baylor.

Generally the better schools at sports have a lot of players that go there to springboard them into the NFL. I dont know about Texas, but Robert Furgeson and Jamaar Toombs fit into that category.

I doubt many players are using Baylor as a springboard to the NFL.

well, you get at most 4 players per year getting to the NFL, so that leaves about 40-70 that just flounder for 4 yrs and then quit school w/o any degree or football to play afterwards.

BTW, you are given 6 years to graduate under the NCAA assessment of graduation rates.

He did leave school early. Loads of talent, no work ethic.

Does anyone know what the football graduation rate is in proportion to the total undergrad graduation rate?
