"The thing that really stuck out to me is that the number of players they graduated was second only to Stanford. I think that’s really cool knowing that I could go down there and get a degree"
Bullshit. Saban pulling these fake stats from his ass. Look at this.

Anybody can mess with the numbers to make that work and I'm sure you could with this. He also could have said something that was slightly different than what the kid said in the interview.

everyone has the same number of players on scholarship. no difference between schools in regards to total number vs percentage.

Notre Dame & fail are pretty much synonymous these days are they not?

Right. I remember reading that one year under Pete Carroll, USC only had like 70 or 75 players on scholarship. I know Iowa has been closer to 80 a couple times in the past decade.

outliers. the overwhelming majority of fbs schools have 85 players on scholarship.
either way, 67% for bama comes nowhere close to 2nd only to stanford. just saban being saban. not sure why anyone is surprised.

iirc, ncaa gives athletes 6 years to complete the degree.
counts towards the apr as well - positively if he was in good standing, negatively if he blew off the spring semester.

"The thing that really stuck out to me is that the number of players they graduated was second only to Stanford (out of teams that were eligible for BCS bowl games last season). I think that’s really cool knowing that I could go down there and get a degree"
FIFY.

Coaches don't graduate players, players graduate from schools. You can get a degree anywhere, they're all universities.

100% true...dumb down the education and up the % of graduation.
