[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 909251, member: 5830"] Again good point. I found this saying that 88.5% of student athletes at UW-Madison graduate: [URL]https://news.wisc.edu/uw-madison-graduation-retention-rates-reach-new-highs/#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20latest%20data,87.6%20percent%20the%20prior%20year[/URL].
