Covering the business of education and training

Georgia Tech will play West Virginia in the Toyota Gator Bowl Game. Each team will take home between $2.5 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.

Georgia Tech will graduate 55% of its football players - 41% of its African American football players. Compare that to a 72% overall student-athlete graduation.

West Virginia will graduate 63% of it football players and 63% of its black players compared to a 70% overall graduation rate.

What's up with football players?

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

What do you think?
