… point out that despite the outrageously bad graduation rate of revenue athletes at Florida State University, many of whom are minority —
Of all the teams that played in the bowl series, Florida State’s has the lowest graduation rate. Sixty-five of the 94 students on the team—69 percent—are black. Based on an analysis of the past four cohorts of black male athletes at Florida State, only 24 of those 65 are predicted to graduate within six years.
— the overall black student graduation rate at Florida State is excellent.
The six year graduation rate is 72.7 and 74.1 for Black and White students, respectively.
