Close enough.
< 41% will know the difference.
The difference between parity and pOLarity, is having a decent 'OL' Ball Coach.

but there are no asterisks or footnotes attached to the two recent THUGA natty trophies. Sadly, the graduation rate metric means nothing in the national conversation or discussions looking back 10 years from now.

Really, I don't see that being bulletin board material after they have failed at getting an education that was 100% free to them. This saying that 59% of UGA's student athletes turned their backs on the greatest gift that they'll ever be offered to them again for free. I totally agree with Munson about it being an embarrassment...
There are hundreds of thousands of young men and women that would take that opportunity with 95% of them finishing college with a degree in their hand. And that ladies and gentlemen would equal a lot smarter American population that would also lead to America being a much smarter country.

Does anyone know how graduation rates are even calculated? Is it simply measured by those who enrolled in the university and whether or not they graduated? If so, what happens when a program has a high rate of players leaving early for the portal or the NFL? Does that count against them as students who didn't graduate?
It just seems like an odd time, with one day before the game, to be taking issue with graduation rates. Might be better if Munson actually focused on the tangibles and intangibles of the game about to be played.
Somehow, I can't help but think most fans on either side aren't really worried about graduation rates right now.

Seriously. Athletes on teams aren’t measured against aggregate. Which is MUCH higher for the average UGA enrollee. Maybe read some studies.

Geez! thanks DUN "Hash" Munson. Please keep your mouth shut about our upcoming opponents.
Maybe he can hang a banner outside the broadcast booth with Dabo's rate. That will show em!
Scary that he is looking over practice in that photo. Stay in your lane!

Seriously. The fact that Don Munson is our play-by-play is an embarrassment. His appearances I’ve seen at Clemson touchdown clubs has not done anything to change my mind on the topic. You could almost pull a random fan out of the stands and he do the same caliber of job

Let's not pretend that ANY of us would rather have a higher grad pct than win pct...
Let's also not pretend that all of our athletes are taking the "hard classes" or "majors".
This stat is heckn skewed.
I am proud of how we graduate but I'd rather win football games.
We do it the right way, but let's prove that it's the right way on Saturday.

That's because Joe dos is a negative 2 star walk on, 3rd string 5'4" 135 lineman from Lower Buffalo, SC. We signed him so we could entice his younger brother to sign with us, which didn't work out so well. He took the $$$ and signed with UGA.

Many CU players would not get admitted without their football skills. I expect the 41% doesn't include players who graduate after they transfer to another school, or get such big NFL contracts that they don't need a degree. And contrary to popular belief, most NFL stars don't need a sheepskin. They only need an accountant. And with the NFLPA, these days very few of them are "broke after 10 years".
CFB overall is a flawed system, and there's no hay to be harvested by throwing UGA under the bus.
Always compliment your own program, let the other team comment on their program.
"Our very own" Jeff Francouer doesn't have a degree. I think he's doing ok.

In No universe should this allowed to happen.
You just don’t go there. Not from an official Clemson employee. Just not professional no matter the truth. Look, I dislike the dawgs more than anyone….but this
is another example of something so unnecessary.

I agree with Munson. 41% graduation is horrible, inexcusable. The 'Dawgs have already become NFL-lite, and the rest of the SEC wants to join them. This is my main reason for not wanting to join the SEC.

Munson is easily the most embarrassing thing about Clemson sports. Worst decision Dabo ever made
