KR,
Wish I could. There's tons of information which I'm sure the NCAA requires -- useful to some, the opposite to most.
I just took a look at the overall averages for several which were at the top:
In the case you linked to:
FRESHMAN-COHORT GRADUATION RATES All Students Student-Athletes #
1996-97 Graduation Rate 63% 63%
Four-Class Average 62% 60%
So, basically at this school, the average student athlete graduation rate is about the same as the overall student body rate.
In a lot of the "football factories" you mention, that rate is fairly dramatically lower.
ETA the info above doesn't format the same on viewing as on input, but bottom line as I read it is that during the 96-97 school year (the class starting in 93-94), the percentage of graduates (I assume from Freshman thru Senior years) were equal between athletes and non-athletes. In an average over four years (as opposed to the four year "class" the athletes don't do quite as well -- although that's a damned confusing explaination) At least that's the way I read it which could be wrong.
