5/25/2011: From Rob Moseley in the RG talking about the recent NCAA release of academic progress:
Oregon’s four-year average of 941 was ninth among Pac-12 teams, and the 932 for 2009-10 was 11th among the 12 teams that will make up the conference this fall.
Oregon State scored 959 as an average, second behind Stanford, and 965 for 2009-10, third behind Stanford and UCLA.
This is the inevitable result of an athletic department with no academic oversight picking “students” on the basis of muscles and claiming we are doing them a favor by giving them a chance to fail their UO classes free while picking up a few concussions, and bringing in big paychecks for the coaches. But don’t worry, our provost will kick in some more subsidy cash from taxes and regular student tuition for the Jock Box tutoring. And the football museum and new swimming pools should help too.
