Ohio State graduation rates

Football: black: 43 percent; white: 56 percent; 48 percent

Looks like those free educations at Ohio State are not too valuable.

The Ohio State football players frequently leave college early to play in the NFL. I believe there are 51 NFL players from Ohio State right now.

Penn State student-athletes have delivered a Graduation Success Rate in the 88-91 percent range during each of the past 13 NCAA reports, improving from 88 percent in the 2015 report, to 89 percent in 2016, to 90 percent in 2017 and 2018, and a record-breaking 91 percent figure in 2019. They only have 27 active players in the NFL.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

What high school team is Ohio St. playing this weekend? whistle


They’re playing Arkansas razorbacks high school, you know them? They were relevant one year? As the almighty Bama plays powerhouse western Carolina, usually strong but are 3-6 right now

As an Arkansas fan, I figger the high school team would beat Arkansas.

Well give us a run down of the usual top ten teams in America so we can compare all of them?

As for who they may borrow from the last report I heard was the guy is a licensed agent. If not it should be ok . But next year if and when he is represented by the same "family friend" then you need to come on here and state you were wrong...... If not then the kid has to live.....

But as for memoriabilia , was the said property traded really property of the university ? That is where the grey area may become involved. If a "common " student took something from the campus and "traded it for anything the college would charge them with stealing.
I also am sick of hearing how much money colleges and the NCAA are making from these guys. SO 99% of "businesses are doing the same thing from their employees. But wait you say those employees are getting a salary. SO ARE THE PLAYERS it is called tuition. Some college tuitions are close to 60 grand a year !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You think how much the owner of AMAZON is making from his PLAYERS Lot of them are working for less than what college players are getting in tuition....... PLUS the kids are getting free advertisement each time they are show cased on the TV ........


Well I respect all quoted. I can not state I was wrong because I am not going to say he was or was not an agent? I have no idea. I trust the NCAA did a thorough investigation into it??? IF he is found to be an agent then I believe its on the NFL to remove this guys license to represent anyone (if they can)? As for the memoriabilia, I can't remember ever reading that they stole the items, but who knows. The items I remember were given to them, awards, clothing, etc. But its unethical players if they stole. It casts a dark shadow on the University but gives them zero advantage against their opponents. I don't like a lot of recruiting crap being done either and I really hated how they landed Mike Weber for the team up north a few years ago. However, all teams do some crap and Dabo is very guilty in the crap he spews to his recruits. Anyhow, Go Bucks!!!

Players are getting over $100K education as well as monthly stipends of $1000 or so a month to pay for rent, etc. That's good enough for me, I don't believe a change should be made, leave the system in place.

Yea , these numbers can be looked at in 2 ways. One they lump ALL sports in together so the "smart athletes " or the ones not good enough to go pro inflate the football and basket ball numbers. ALSO take into consideration the fact a lot of football players get their "degree" but it is a two year associates because they can't go pro until a higher age than basketball.
Look at the profiles on some of them It is hilarious. degree in communications, Athletic coaching Assistant !! Yes that is a degree !! Made up to inflate college numbers so coaches don't look so bad... IN ALL CONFERENCES ,,,,,

Communications is a real major, that many college students get great jobs from having.

some of the degrees talked about earlier as being as 'hilarious" are valuable instant job placement careers. For Example with a communications degree you can roll straight into radio and or tv broadcasting for small time networks and get your feet wet. Very high demand and actually low reward career but job placement especially for a "good" or "well known athlete" is very high compared to say someone who got a "serious" degree like political science or something. Not knocking Political Science just used it as a reference. Athletic coaching is also a very lucrative career with solid placement. Do you know high end high school football coaches in Texas make six figures easily? If you are a big time coach looking to bolster your squad with young talented coaching help would you rather go with an ex tight end that got a bachelors in English or a bachelors in Athletic coaching. Who was trained in proper training and nutrition for athletes.

Now to some these classes may be a joke and even at the college level they can be awful easy to succeed in for athletes but at least they are a useable career.

If there are roughly 130 division one colleges each with a minimum of 5 assistants per team (new assitants that is) then factor in FBS schools and then start figuring how many large scale high schools exist. There are many a high school coaches out there that make more than i do and i am not a chump certainly not a trump either.

I will bet and have not researched it but i will the average employment rate is higher for that coaching gig than an English major and likely the average yearly pay is more as well.

Dude you are surely not serious comparing coaches to English teachers? In my state alone their are 120 counties. Each co has 1-6 high schools not to mention elementary and middle schools. Locally each high school has 5-9 English teachers . SO YOU do the MATH !!!!!

Just for Ky.....

Jbyrd you are not comparing apples to apples. You have to look at the ratios. There are a lot more graduates with an English major than there are with a coaching degree thus making the initial pool you get your statistics from quite larger. I am talking employment rates and income potential. For example when i was in college I had a very close friend who was a math major graduates from that college at the time had a job placement rating of 40% directly out of the math program into a job. I for example was a construction management major and the program i went through had a job placement rating of over 90%. The only graduates that didn't get hired into the field are the ones with other jobs waiting for them like family job situations.

You can also look at data for the percentage of graduates that end up working in the field they were educated in total. Old school standard degrees suffer in this category as well. Severely.

And English major does not equate to English teacher. It makes up a portion of the group but not the complete. And In most states you do not have to be an English major to be an English teacher. Actually a bachelors in elementary education. Secondary teachers usually require an English major though. This differs on region and state.
