(4) USC-88 (5)/(6) UGA -85 MSU-85 (7) LSU-84 (8) UF-81 (9) UK-81 (10) Ole Miss-80 (11) UT-80 (12) A+M-78 (13) AU-77 (14) Ark-76. This is men and women combined and reflects positively or negatively not only on the coaches but the athletic directors as well. And outside of Vandy which face it, brings in academically motivated kids, is indicative of the type leadership in the athletic depts . 5/6 is pretty good.

Probably is very telling of the overall discipline in the programs. I had heard Auburn is "disorganized" (my child is close friends with a staffer there who was at another SEC program and he is not impressed). Inlight of the current situation read what you may into the real graduation figures released by the NCAA and keep in mind this includes all sports, both sexes.

I don't read a whole lot into that...it's pretty good but none of them, even the bottom few, seem all that bad to me

I agree. But it is note worthy when folks talk about all the great things or bad things about a program when trying to excuse away what some see as under achievement. Face it what can coaches and administrators do? Win games. Graduate athletes and keep them out of trouble as much as you can. I'll leave it up to others to decide for themselves if a good enough job has been done on all 3 fronts. All three are tough. And the AD factors in here too. The UGA has enormous potential.

Do these reflect the amount of kids jumping to pros, transfering or getting kicked off? Just curious.

I was at Landers's last game. Did you know they announced all of his players through his career graduated? I know some came back to finish, etc. but thought that was quite a feat.
