VT is 4th in ACC. UVA. Pitt. NC St. Louisville and UNC are at bottom of conference. I have always said players that go to those schools are not very smart. Graduation rates back me up.

Very perceptive....Perhaps a degree at UVA is harder to get for most kids that just want to just play football and get an education at the same time. i.e they get there and find out its too hard or too much work. Just my guess.

Check the rankings for best Universities and get back to me......just sayin, it is what it is.and I have some ocean front property in Coal Bank Hollow and if you buy that I'll throw the Peppers Ferry Bridge in free
so you're saying if your football team had better grad % your univ would have a higher ranking ? Apples and oranges BirdieCheck the rankings for best Universities and get back to me......just sayin, it is what it is.
Fact is Mike London did nothing to help the football program including making sure his players graduated.so you're saying if your football team had better grad % your univ would have a higher ranking ? Apples and oranges Birdie
What a sad joke of a list. This is why they shouldn't even bother reporting athlete graduation rates...because none of these are even real degrees.Boston College: Arts and Sciences (enrolled in school)

Parks, recreation and tourism management? Now that's funny! But what is Human Development?Here are the five most popular majors and major types in the ACC, which had information available online for most of its programs. Business and related majors—finance, economics, management, marketing, etc.—lead this conference, but general arts and sciences is the biggest declared major, followed by communication.
A high number of players at Boston College, Pittsburgh and Virginia are listed as enrolled in their respective schools of Arts and Sciences, leading to that major's place on the top-five list.
- Business (77) and related majors: 240
- Arts and Sciences: 116
- Communication (84) and journalism: 99
- Kinesiology and exercise sciences: 63
- Sociology: 55
Louisville and Syracuse both have communication as their biggest majors, while Virginia Tech had 36 different majors listed for its football players, which is the most in Power Five football.

Again, it depends on where you get that degree from. My best friends daughter got a degree in Human Development from Johns Hopkins and is now a second year med school student at an Ivy League school.What is a degree in Human Development do for you?
Thanks, never heard of the degree but then again what would and Economics guy know about being a doctor.Again, it depends on where you get that degree from.

Oh dear......it status my friend. A degree from UVA is an Elite status, but I'm sure deep down you already knew that.Oh please. There is nothing difficult about getting an undergraduate degree at UVa. They pride themselves on admission standards and post-graduate 'excellence,' but there is nothing especially valuable about a bachelors in anything at UVa or anywhere for that matter.

I'll take that as a compliment since I have my Masters from Darden.No, a degree from Harvard is elite status. An undergraduate degree from UVa is a nice cosmetic enhancement, or might burnish your vulnerable self-image if you're the kind of pathetic simp who buys into 'prestige' and 'status,' but unless you're pursuing a post-graduate education in a field worth anything, you're just splitting hairs or settling for a pretty addition to your mantelpiece if you can afford one.
Great business school, top-notch law and medical schools, but if you're a football player getting a degree in anthropology, doesn't do you much good beyond a pat on the back from yourself or from members of the local wine tasting club.
