I know this comes up all the time, but:
Hypocrisy 101: Graduation Rates for Nation's Top Programs Lagging

Interesting to see how the top-level schools fall so far behind, if not in overall graduation rates, then in overall quality of education (i.e.: the Michigan issue addressed in the article).

College hoops and even college football now have only become minor leagues for their respective pro sport. College is nothing more than a pit stop to the gifted athletes, who see nothing more than dollar signs on the road ahead. The sad thing is, with the money the NCAA makes off football and basketball, this isn't going to change anytime soon.

That's the thing that gets me the most about the NCAA. They pretend to give a damn about the education received by student-athletes (note that 'student' comes first), but when it comes down to it, it really seems like it's all about the money.

The one year rule hurts...OSU lost three freshman last year who count against them..and Oden for sure would have jumped to NBA if this rule wasn't in place..Conley may have never came without Oden...Grad rates for college sports are BS. This bigger schools get the majority of the NFL or NBA talent...of course they lag behind.

wow that was quite an ineffective rebuttal.

I personally prefer the Cheesecake Factory and their cajun jumbalaya.
