Falcons Honored for Graduation Rate



Though it might be hard to tell from this picture,
John Lanning (68) is a college graduate.



BGSU was honored by the AFCA for graduating 70% of its football players.

I'm extremely pleased with this. I root for a mid major, and I'm proud of it. It would not be acceptable to me if the program embarrassed the school, or failed to graduate students. Other programs--with senior General Studies majors--are a shame. A school should graduate the same percentage of football players (or any sport) as in the general population. A player who completes his eligibility yet does not graduate should be rare.

So, Coach and players, good job. Even if you don't have the sense to stay out of the rain.
