Roll Tide!

Alabama graduated 80 percent of its football players, beating out Vanderbilt (75 percent) for tops in the league, but UA’s actual graduation rate for that signing class is even higher. Two football players who enrolled that year, Roman Harper and Freddie Roach, both graduated seven years after enrolling after having their studies interrupted by pro football careers.

The only football player from that signing class to not graduate transferred in good academic standing.

Actually, those would've been Fran's recruits. But Mike had to see that they did the work to graduate.

Maybe Mike did have a little dicipline, and just maybe it was all Coach Saban. :lol:

I know that its a combination of the last few coaches that we have had......but having a high graduation rate is a great recruiting tool. Also, its pretty cool to beat the nerds in something academic.
