Especially since we don't offer African-American Studies or whatever.

Not top ten graduation rates in FBS. You don't seriously think all those SEC schools would be in there.

SCU's graduation rate is inaccurate...

except you know the whole fact that some players are admitted into places that Clemson doesnt allow in. Clemson and Scar DO NOT have the same entrance requirements. That is a fact kid.
The big one a few years ago was the WR who ended up going to UNC.

First off there is no "us" chicken boy you are fooling no one.
We have the Academic Review Board that reviews all incoming athletes and have told coaches in the past they could not offer a scholarship to certain athletes due to their academic history. The big time WR from UNC was the most public one.
If you were a Clemson fan you would remember that, but we both know you are not.

Should be pretty easy if it's common knowledge that Clemson is tougher for athletes to get into.

Your assumption is incorrect, coot

Generally, higher graduation rates = better schools. For example, here are the 4-year colleges with the highest graduation rates:
1. Harvard
2. Yale
3. Notre Dame
4. Princeton
5. Brown
And the lowest (or, in your mind, those with the "most stringest academic standards"):
1. University of Phoenix
2. Western Governors University
3. University of Houston - DT
4. Int'l Academy of Design & Tech - Chicago
5. Texas Southern University

UCF is a commuter school--largest Univ. in Florida I think
Jan 8, 2014, 7:07 PM
|

Honestly, that makes it more impressive that the players are sticking around campus & taking care of business. I guess it helps not having a ton of distractions around at night.
Georgia State in Atlanta would be a good comparison as far as the commuter school & enrollment as it's the biggest in Georgia the last I heard when I lived nearby.

At UCF you're more likely to graduate as a football player than a student.

"Tell em coot"

Is that why almost 20% of your football team scored as illiterate on the SAT? Because of your "stringest" academic standards?

UCF shouldn't even count since it's a commuter college...it's basically a glorified Community College.
