So Whites are smarter than blacks, except at Troy.........How does Ohio graduate more blacks and whites than Kentucky, but Kentucky is given a touchdown because they graduate neither at a high rate. This says that equality is rated better than graduating the kids.

Impressive to see how high the 4 MAC bowl teams graduation rates are compared to other conferences:
Ohio is one of the highest at 82
CMU 78
WMU 77
NIU brining up the rear for the MAC teams at 73 but higher than Purdue, Ohio St, WI & MN
only MI and PSU at 91 and 83 percent(Big 10 teams) respectively graduate a higher percentage of their players than the 4 MAC bowl teams.

Perhaps, your curriculum is easier. Or, athletes get special treatment. We have a top running back in Florida, headed to Florida, where SAT scores hover around 1300. This kid has not passed the FCAT. If he graduates, I guess U. of Florida is EASY!!! These statistics are meaningless.
I'd take a Purdue Engineering or Pharmacy degree over a P.E. degree from any MAC school.

You think Ohio State kids are gonna there for academics.....its NFL..........Most take Afro American studies, communications, crime justice and PE.

Exactly.
And these statistics help the NCAA justify the millions that they make on the backs of kids who get a parks / rec degree, if that, and work at Walmart.
