whats up with the weird reaction from Tommy on the graduation rate? Did he misunderstand it?

- An NCAA report released Wednesday named Clemson as the fifth best team among ranked programs in graduating student-athletes who enrolled between the years 1996-1999.

Oddly, Bowden was evasive when asked about the issue and didn't seem too happy about the subject as a whole.

"I've always made them go to class and try hard," he said. "I'm going to hold off (saying anything else). I'll have more later...It's a sore spot at this point and time."

Is there a clause of % expected graduate rates in contract?***

maybe but

I'd have to say that since we are one of only 5 top 25 teams currently meeting the minimum rate, I'd say he has not done a bad job.

Do they still count transfers against a school?


Sep 27, 2006, 8:20 PM [ in reply to Re: Poor Practice Wednesday Draws Bowden's Ire ]

He might be mad at that. There are a couple different graduation statistics out there. The last one I saw had us at 94%. I don't know how the different ones are measured.

I thought the same thing. Wasn't that article released just this year as well?

Sure hope Gaddis did not miss class again but if I were a betting man I would say thre is something in the wind or another issue brewing. When will they learn that you can do what ever you want but there are consequenses both good and bad in life.

That is possible... But Tommy could just be mad about how bad practice was and want to talk about that instead.

Listening to the audio, you could tell he was very unhappy with the effort.

I think it was a great move to call the team out. Hopefully they will be motivated today.
