This study investigates the disparities in graduation rates between college football players and the general student population across various U.S. universities. Key hypotheses include the correlation between a school's academic rank and the graduation rate gap (FGR), the impact of part-time student percentages on the FGR gap, and the influence of football team performance on graduation outcomes. Findings are based on a correlation matrix and regression analysis involving data from 116 Football Bowl Subdivision schools, revealing statistically significant relationships among academic rank, race, and athletic performance.

  2. Hypotheses • H The higher the academic rank of a school, the greater the FGR gap between players and other students, e.g., USC, Rice, UCLA, Virginia. • H The larger the percentage of part-time students in the general student body, the smaller the FGR gap, e.g., Boise State. • H The better the football team’s performance on the field, the higher the FGR gap, e.g., Florida as opposed to Duke, Stanford, or Notre Dame. 1 2 3
