    The NCAA publishes each year the graduation rates for every school and every sport. Its refered to as the 'gsr' rates. Schools can lose scholarships if the rates fall below a certain standard. Southern U. in Baton Rouge is an example of scholarships being reduced. LSU has a 77% rate, behind Vandy. What is interesting, the ncaa counts the kids that do not graduate, but leave early for the NFL, against the %. Coach Miles and his stats can be found at LSU or the SEC sites. Go to LSUsports.net. They will send you press releases on all sports. Its free, just sign up. I am a LSU "homer". My parents graduated from LSU, as did my brother and sister and myself. My son is a senior at LSU and is involed with LSU athletics. My daughter will be attending LSU in the fall on an academic scholarship. We have had 8 season football tickets in our family since 1948. I shouldn't let bama fans upset me, but they do and it has nothing to do with Nick! I think it is ashame that high school kids control the future of coaches and the various programs at universities. I think football should have an early signing period, the same as other sports and it would end a lot of the problems. We are looking foward to the baseball season and I think the LSU nation will be very happy with the team this spring. Geaux Tigers!
