You would appreciate this study then on college athlete graduation rates

The Drake group did qn analysis the NCAAs APR and GSR data and found their reporting to be bunk. But there was a 19% graduation discrepancy between revenue and non revenue athlete. 52% of all D-1 mens basketball players did not graduate on estimated time and 38% of all football players did not as well. I used it to help form my thesis that I wrote on auxiliary status of college Athletic Departments. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/analysis-who-is-winn... Also the NCAAs report https://www.ncaa.org/news/2021/12/2/general-college-athle...

Completely different dynamics driven by the size of the pot of gold

I think Women recruits are closer to being true student athletes than men
HokieBrazil • 03/14/24 12:00 PM ET
In my college teaching experience that is completely true

Thanks. Looks interesting and not surprising. 😊**

About only thing in common is both use a basketball (albeit not same size)**
marcbvtgm • 03/14/24 11:41 AM ET
Well, there is one main difference...

Damn Chris, that was an excellent post **
VaTechHokiesACC • 03/14/24 09:41 PM ET
Good points. **
VT One • 03/14/24 02:34 PM ET
Of course, those things are true for both coach's competition too**
Pylons • 03/14/24 12:23 PM ET
Kenny's, family 1st approach, plays pretty good in recruiting...
vthhhi • 03/14/24 11:19 AM ET
So women’s families prioritize family and men’s families don’t as much? **
HoodatB • 03/14/24 01:37 PM ET
Not all, but I believe some do, parents tend to protect daughters more ..
vthhhi • 03/14/24 03:42 PM ET
Not as much much family atmosphere as safe environment**
vtbball80 • 03/14/24 02:22 PM ET
It still works in men's sports, but..
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/14/24 11:25 AM ET
And getting into those salaries a little bit more...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/14/24 12:14 PM ET
Whit has his fingerprints all over this …
VPI63 • 03/14/24 05:48 PM ET
Perhaps VT should cut back on number of sports if $$ is an issue
40ozDistrict • 03/14/24 01:04 PM ET
That isn't as easy as it might sound. Reductions in sports would likely
mghokie • 03/14/24 02:26 PM ET
Keep FB, Basketball, Wrestling, Track, then the 4 cheapest of the rest.
40ozDistrict • 03/14/24 07:42 PM ET
I agree
Midwestguy • 03/14/24 12:38 PM ET
I like your prioritization better. :)**
NokieHokie • 03/14/24 12:21 PM ET
did you mean rehire frazier when jones left?**
Hokies23 • 03/14/24 11:58 AM ET
Yep, sorry, I'll edit.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/14/24 12:00 PM ET
Re-hire Frazier when Jones left, correct?**
Glen Allen Hokie • 03/14/24 11:57 AM ET
Yep-It is all about the $$$**
STEAMBOAT • 03/14/24 10:58 AM ET
Agree, as the Women's game grows (and more $'s are generated), I'm sure....
