BC is a legit academic institution for athletes, and they have done a fantastic job, but you've got to be joking by throwing USC in there. USC's academic standards get thrown out the window when it comes to people that can run, throw and catch footballs. In 2006, ND graduation rate was 96%. USC's was 55%, so to compare those 2 institutions is laughable.Notre Dome homers need to stop whining about the academic stuff. There are LOTS of quality academic schools that have good football programs, look at USC and Boston College.
This same website shows the top-10 graduation rates, and I don't see a single top-25 team in there except for BC. It is riduculously difficult to maintain high academics standards and field a championship caliber football team.
Top 10 Football Grad Rates: Division I-A
Navy 98%
Wake Forest 96%
Notre Dame 96%
Clemson 94%
Vanderbilt 93%
Stanford 92%
Northwestern 92%
Air Force 91%
Army 91%
Rice 89%
Boston College 89%
