Covering the business of education and training

Oregon will play BYU in the MPC Computers owl Game. Each team will take home between $1 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.

Oregon will graduate 59% of its football players - 48% of its African American football players. Compare that to a 72% overall student-athlete graduation.

BYU will graduate 53% of it football players and 53% of its black players compared to a 77% overall graduation rate.

What's up with football players?

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

What do you think?
