Covering the business of education and training

Wisconsion will play Arkansas in the Captial One Bowl Game. Each team will take home between $4.25 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.

Wisconsin will graduate 62% of its football players - 44% of its African American football players. Compare that to a 79% overall student-athlete graduation.

Arkansas will graduate 55% of it football players and 38% of its black players compared to a 64% overall graduation rate.

What's up with football players?

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

What do you think?
