As far as someone going to Ole Miss not being of Notre Dame caliber, that's major preppie snobby isn't it? What do you know about Ole Miss? Actually it is a pretty well respected school if you care.
Again, Ole' Miss maybe a good school for the regular student but their FB grad rate is a bit beyond bad at the bottom of the SEC:
Vanderbilt continues lead the SEC in football grad rates. No surprise there. LSU and Florida are next with reported GSRs of 77% and 76%, which is somewhat of a surprise to us. Part of the reason LSU and Florida reported relatively high grad rates is that they don't have to count all the transfers they lost. These two programs churn through a remarkable number of transfers. With outgoing transfers taken into account, both LSU and Florida have a "federal graduation rate" of just 48% -- almost 30 percentage points lower than their reported GSRs. Now you can see why the football factories lobbied the NCAA to adopt the factory-friendly GSR system of measuring graduation rates.
