Northwestern, Stanford, and ND manage to graduate players at the highest rates in that list while being top national universities (all ranked top 15 per USNWR -- Bama ties for 103rd). Alabama graduates players sixth best of the top 25 in football for that year. Good for them. But it probably says more about the 18 football schools behind them. Do you think ND, Stanford, and Northwestern might be more demanding and challenging? I'm not one to denigrate anyone getting an education anywhere, so don't get me wrong . . . I'm not echoing the "knuckle-dragger" comments. Just saying that link tells us very little, and that the NDs and Stanfords of the football world are different academically than the Alabamas. Can't deny it.
