What I learned today were a few more important numbers...the graduation rates of the students in the games.
Rutgers will graduate 58% of its football players - 58% of its African American football players. Compare that to a 75% overall student-athlete graduation.
Kansas State will graduate 76% of it football players and 68% of its black players compared to a 76% overall graduation rate.
What's up with football players?
Nothing perhaps, as long as they can bring home money.
What do you think?









Rutgers football was the only sport that received an increase in funding this year. Many other sports were cut. Nevertheless, RU football has done a lot to bring national attention and school spirit. As for football players, those rates aren't very impressive, but I think they know they're there mostly to play football. It's what's paying for their tuition at least.
As for tonight's game,
Go RU!!!
