Covering the business of education and training

Texas Tech will play Minnesota in the Insight Bowl Game. Each team will take home between $1.2 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.

Texas Tech will graduate 73% of its football players - 64% of its African American football players. Compare that to a 76% overall student-athlete graduation.

Minnesota will graduate 44% of it football players and 38% of its black players compared to a 68% overall graduation rate.

What's up with football players?

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

What do you think?
