How on earth can't you graduate as an athlete unless you go pro early? You're here normally for 5 years and a degree isn't that difficult to obtain in Liberal Studies, especially when you have tutors doing your homework for yo...errr helping you with your homework.

I mean, an argument can be made that that degree is about as useful as not having one but damn.

I agree completely, there are of course some time issues while in season but if you want to graduate the schools will help you do that.

What's the difference between this number and the 71% released here?

If the number is really that low my guess is your idea of how easy it is to graduate as an athlete is probably incorrect.

Could have to do with this:

Clarifying note:The Cyclone men’s basketball team did not graduate any student-athletes from the 2006 cohort class, the data set for this release.
This year’s federal graduation data is based upon recruiting classes from six years ago at a time when Iowa State was transitioning between coaching staffs.
Transfers, even those in good academic standing, are logged as non-graduates in the federal rate. The three freshmen members of that recruiting class in 2006 transferred from Iowa State - all in good academic standing – and thus were counted as non-graduates in the report.

I think you're right... the 60% is football, the 71% is all student athletes.

Could have to do with this:

None of the numbers between McMurphys tweet and the ISU article match.

Yep, which means all of the womens tennis team will get their degrees

Isn't overall graduation rate for all ISU students like 64% ?

60% football starting six years ago, 70% all students, and 71% all sports.

ISU Article...

Ah, Good point.

 

[Wesley]

What?

The cyclones article bases their rates on six years ago class.

The Cyclone men’s basketball team did not graduate any student-athletes from the 2006 cohort class, the data set for this release.

This year’s federal graduation data is based upon recruiting classes from six years ago at a time when Iowa State was transitioning between coaching staffs.

Cyclones article claims 70% for all undergrad students

Iowa State student-athletes had a higher graduation rate than undergraduates (70%) for only the third time dating back to 1999.
