at graduation -- 12/19/2003 [...] Oklahoma's opponent in the national championship game, LSU, has a
mediocre 40 percent graduation average. Southern Cal's opponent in the second-most important game,
Michigan, remains one of the nation's most embarrassing schools for its gap between the football
players and the student body. Its overall male graduation rate is 81 percent. Its football grad rate
is 46 percent. Its African-American player grad rate is 36 percent. [ROTFLMAO]
Of the eight schools playing in the four most financially lucrative games, worth $90 million to
their conferences, six have African- American player graduation rates under 50 percent. Oklahoma and
Ohio State have African-American graduation rates of 28 percent. Of the 56 teams in all the bowls,
only 15 have an African-American graduation rate of at least 50 percent.
In the interest of positive publicity, those 15 schools are: Kansas State, USC, Tulsa, Mississippi,
Purdue, Georgia, Boston College, Southern Mississippi, UCLA, Navy, Virginia, Northwestern, Hawaii,
Boise State, and Texas Christian.
Unfortunately, there are also 15 schools with African-American grad rates of under 35 percent. The
lowest were Arkansas (16 percent), Pittsburgh (23), Miami of Ohio (25), and Tennessee and Fresno
State (26 percent each). The other remainders, besides Oklahoma and Ohio State, were Bowling Green,
Louisville, Texas, Missouri, Minnesota, Colorado State, Oklahoma State and LSU.

can't graduate.
