A very cool Gamecock football stat from NCAA Twitter feed

[Gradstudent]

Sorry if repeat, sent 12/26

Ok, I know we care about wins and losses, but this is pretty cool, after all I have heard a University does have another function besides football, we need all the help in recruiting and rebuilding this thing.

DYK? There are six bowl teams with a Graduation Success Rate of at least 90%.

 

[roosterbell]

That's a stat we can all be proud of and a great selling point to recruits and their families. That's awesome.

Where's the Harvard of Pickens County?lol

 

[RockThrillCock]

That's good company.

That's good company.

UCF is the only one that shocks me. And I wonder where the taters are at hahahaha

The Taters are lining up to look at all the hardware in their trophy cases.

 

[NooNoo]

Great I guess but none of those schools are winning national championships anytime soon.

I wonder if they put their arrest warrants in the same case.

Well maybe we and the other schools can challenge Butch Jones and Tennessee for their "Champions of Life" Championship won in 2016.

Shocked that Vandy didn't make it. Other than UCF, the rest don't surprise me.

Surprised about Vandy too. Makes me wonder about the veracity of the tweet. Also, you're telling me Navy doesn't have a better graduation rate than Carolina?

Yeah, didn't think about the military academies. You'd think their's would be danged close to 100%.

Clemson comes in at 92% if you leave out the players who leave early for the NFL

I thought those were already accounted for if they complete their degree within a certain number of years.

Some are. The ones that dont fast track and do it in time don't. Some finish later when the NFL doesn't pan out.
Either way that is a very good state to have as a Gamecock fan. So many people forget the main goal ofor a University is education. It's nice to see them graduate football players at that impressive of a rate

 

[USCBIRDS]

Hell no...They need a separate case for them. Too many!

So where is the upstate team on this list.

 

[rogue cock]

The people that composed the list obviously don't use the upstate team's "secret formula" for determining graduation rates of its football players.

 

[clemtiger117]

We are at 84%. The GSR formula is a little different than APR. In GSR you are punished for players going pro early if they don't graduate. IIRC.

 

[themachine300]

They sure as heck better graduate because hardly any of them will play on Sunday

It's hard to push a kid to graduate early if they have an NFL career on their brain out of high school.

 

[Sulayman]

Clemson sucks

The trophies are sitting on top of them as a reminder of how to win championships.

I hope you're not implying we should have no morals to win. That's what made the back to back baseball championships so great, we did it the right way.

Haha...Thanks Robert...I needed that!

Dang, Clemson's President didn't quite vote Stanford low enough, huh?

Based on teams currently ranked in the top 25, not overall academics. What reality do you live in? Not relevant to the original topic.

I'll find a completely different link to argue with stats that aren't related to what I'm arguing with just because it makes me feel better.

Click on the "annual academic ranking" in the text of the article and you can read the convoluted use of federal rankings, GSR and assumptions that the think tank uses to come up with these "revised" rankings.

Base numbers show Clemson with a GSR of 84% and a federal graduation rate of 79%, which was equal to the overall MALE student body...so they got extra credit for that per an assumption of the think tank. It also included only those schools ranked in the top-25.

And I am absolutely sure that Dabo will use this as a recruiting tool without disclosing the limited nature of the study and the base data.
