[mikeyis4dcats.]

Kansas State is ranked first among Big 12 schools for all student-athletes in the 2001-02 class, according to the Federal Graduation Rate.
The NCAA announced the latest graduation rate data based upon 2008 reports.

K-State had 100 percent graduation rates for men's basketball, men's track and field, women's basketball, women's track and field and men's golf. K-State football was listed as No. 1 with a 67 percent graduation rate.

K-State also led the Big 12 in 2007 with a 75 percent graduation rate for all student-athletes and was No. 1 in the conference in football at 87 percent.

Maybe it's me, but the KSU grads I've run into in my life haven't much seemed like a group of Rhodes Scholars like you seem to want everyone to believe.

By the way, your incessant interest in my privates is very disturbing.

it's not 8 years old, that is the class entering 2001, and the NCAA tabulates on a 6 year cycle, so that actually would cover students through 2007.

the report relates to student athletes. Somehow, I'm sure you'd be all over a report if a star KSU player had BAD grades, but since it's good news, it's wrong to post it? I guess we'll just have to settle with Darrell Arthur's suspect grades...

maybe we should have a college athlete legal troubles board as well, I mean, that doesn't have to do with the games either...

BTW, is your name Eric?

I really think your grade stuff should go on a "Soil Judging" board somewhere - it would have more relevance to KSU.

Sorry, Eric must be some other guy who's penis you are infatuated with.

Holy hell, what happened to our women's basketball players? Did they all run off and create a lesbian commune together before they could graduate?

some would say they don't really have 'athletes'

It's very relevant because beginning next year those schools at the bottom of the list will start losing scholarships

I believe those schools that are below 70 are the teams in danger of losing scholarships.
