"The Mountaineers’ current senior class will have a 100 percent graduation rate. Sixteen players received their diplomas in December; the other seven will graduate in May.

West Virginia wins, too. This year’s senior class had a career record of 40-12."

you dont win championships with perfect graduation rates,you win them with perfect seasons.we dont have a championship yet,so its a no-brainer for me.when we win one,i will agree that graduation rates are better than perfect seasons.











well....maybe! wink

Way to represent Stew! I'm proud of the 100% graduation rate--wonder what the Harvard of the East would say about that????

Probably that our graduation is rate is so high only because our standards are so low...     roll eyes

The only thing I can think of, though, is:
he is talking about current seniors all 100% graduating....
I would expect at most schools/ teams that if a player is still around to be a senior, chances are they will graduate....
I wonder what the % is of the recruiting classes from 4-5 years ago (that would be SR/ RS Sr this year) graduating?

I'm pretty sure we have that number, or some version of it.  I swear I saw it earlier last year.

I checked the NCAA website, and it lists our overall (school-wide) scholar-athlete grad rate at 68%.

Football was lower (much).  Only 41% of our total incoming freshman graduate in 4 years in football.  The number is 50% for white players, only 29% for black players.


Btw, WVU's overall student body graduation rate (within 6 years of the year a student enters freshman class full-time) is only 54-56%.

The University of Michigan has always called Harvard "The UM of the East." This self-puffery of M is yet another tradition that is just one more "Death By A Thousand Cuts" added to RR's ordeal.

So, on the whole student athletes at WVU have a greater chance of actually getting their degree than the general student population at large.
wow.
