Who cares about anything except this statement........maybe it's because Cal has all of their players leave early to become failures in the NFL, or maybe they just drop out after they lose the Holiday Bowl every year but it's pathetic.....stoolio??????

No, this is not a typo: Cal is in the bottom 10 in football graduation rates. There are 120 schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision, and Cal has one of the ten worst Graduation Success Rates. This is not a one-year fluke – remember, these are four-year numbers, based on the graduation rate of the four most recent classes for which data are available. The rest of the bottom 10 is made up of the usual suspects. Of course it's pathetic to see schools such as Oklahoma and Arizona in the bottom 10, but they're in the bottom 10 just about every year. Oklahoma or Arizona, what does it matter. But Cal? That's embarrassing.

Yeah, but Cal sucks at football.

Oh...wait.

Uh mm, yeah... that's what happens when you go to Cal... Cal is hard if you don't play a D1 sport and it's super hard if you do.


It's not that difficult to figure out how Furd gets their high numbers in graduation, basically they spoon feed kids for 4 years and do everything for them.

Even the average student gets the spoon fed treatment. Need financial aid ???

Stop by the FiAid office, fill out a form and a staff member figures out your aid package and you come back to okay it.


Conversely, once you get to Cal you're on your own more or less. Financial aid ???

Figure it out yourself idiot and GET IN LINE!









On a very sad-note... It's finals week at Cal and Unit 2 takes another victim.









A student jumps to his death during finals at Cal...

What makes the story even more sad is that his dad works for the Contra Costa Times...

... and his dad tweeted about his death, not knowing it was his son that had jumped off the building.

Just brutal.

Anyone else more shocked at "The U" having a higher rate than Stanford?

Nope. It's rather predictable.


And you can leave out the "adjective" next time.... it's not necessary.

It is when it is a reply to Cal's low graduation rate.

I am more shocked that Miami has a higher percentage than Stanford. Is anyone else?

I assumed that even a Cal football player college dropout could figure that out.

That wasn't your quote ... dipshit.



This was your quote...

You still want to play ?

That was an elaboration on my previous quote. What part of that and explaining the use of the adverb (yeah, you fucked that up too) above that line is so difficult to comprehend?

How you managed to get through second grade without pulling a Henry Treadway over the pressures of coloring in between the lines I'll never know.

a Cal education

What's that? We could ask the football team but apparently they don't know either.

Hell, you would think that they have plenty of time to study, especially with the 20 hour flights to in-conference games, and all...

Also, it's not like they're spending much time on football.

Cal has football?

Im sure USC's is pretty low now with all the transfers and early departures for the NFL.
Around the time they smashed OU in the Orange Bowl, USC had the highest grad rate of all of the BCS bowl teams but that was before Paul Dee set out to tear down the program and make free agency a possibility in college football.

Im sure USC's is pretty low

Yes it is.

calling BS on that list

Like I stated, when the NCAA slams a program with BS penalties making over half the team free agents to go to other schools and then not removing those players from the graduation rate statistics, the numbers will be skewered.

So that's one maybe two years...what about all the other years your pathetic program fails to graduate more than 60% of its players.

Players leave early from USC every year. Graduation rate statistics should only be counted among players that stay at the school for 4 years. Transfers and players who leave early for the draft should not be counted.

So what was the excuse before they got put on probation?

Be careful what you wish for. If that were the criteria, ND's graduation rate would be at 100%, or very very close.

Army 88%.

Hmmmm......since you basically JOIN the army, and you don't graduate.....do they dishonorably discharge them?

I have no clue. Just a question.

Yeah, well....if Asians played football.....

yeah but they would have a degree in kid-fucking that only prepares them for 2 jobs, clergy or DC at Penn State

Does this study take into account those receiving degrees while incarcerated?
