<p>UVa seems to provide the best environment for football players to be able to graduate with degrees, according to an article in USA Today - see the link above. Its graduation rate for football players within six years is 75%, which is the No.1 among Div.1-A schools according to the article. This stat is significant considering that the No.2 Purdue has only 63%.
UVa is amazing!</p>
<p>At first I wondered why I didn't see Notre Dame anywhere, since they usually are near the top in that statistic. This graphic only shows RANKED teams. Being an alum, I love UVA, and they're doing a very good job, but schools like ND, Duke and Northwestern usually come out better in this stat.</p>
<p>The tidbit I found interesting is that at 75%, the footballers' grad rate is 15% points less than the regular male student rate at UVA. At Purdue, the grad rates for footballers and regular male students are almost the same. We could make a few snarky comments about what that tells us about the general student body at Purdue, but I don't feel like having the moderators ban me today.</p>
<p>Phdinee, what happened to your other thread? Why was it deleted?</p>
<p>I had no idea that it was deleted!
Now you're telling me that it was so, and I must ask why was it ever deleted?
It was not an offensive message and I was merely saying that UVa was ranked high in a new college ranking.
Maybe someone at the top CC office didn't like UVa that much.</p>
<p>Is there no honor in the world, I say? No honor?</p>
<p>You should put it up again.</p>
