[Paint Touches] APR scores released; Marquette eighth in Big East

[Atticus]

College football teams should have higher scores. They cant leave until after junior year to make the NFL jump so players have to make sure they stay elligible. Also, fball players dont have nearly as many options to play professionally. There is the NFL and canada and thats about it. The only route to the NFL is through college football. Basketball players have far more options.

The studies also got into the socioeconomic backgrounds and typically a college football team had more kids from backgrounds that displayed tendencies to perform better in the classroom.  Middle class, upper middle class, suburban as well as rural, etc.

Maybe the data has changed since then, but I would be a bit surprised if it has.

Traditional?

The problem is that 99% of college football players think they're going to the NFL.
