Covering the business of education and training

Kentucky will play Clemson in the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl Game. Each team will take home between $1.5 million...that will make no difference to the average student's tuition costs.

What I learned today were a few more important numbers...the graduation rates of the students in the games.

Kentucky will graduate 55% of its football players - 50% of its African American football players. Compare that to a 72% overall student-athlete graduation.

Clemson will graduate 77% of it football players and 76% of its black players compared to a 7084% overall graduation rate...one of the bests.

What's up with football players?

Nothing perhaps, as long as they can bring home money.

What do you think?
