The article provides a reminder of why NU will probably never be in the BCS championship game, and why that's probably OK:

'"Florida has a 68 percent graduation rate but a 25-percentage-point racial disparity," he wrote in his Dec. 13, 2008, column. "Oklahoma should flat-out be disqualified with a 46 percent graduation rate."

Mr. Jackson also found that four other schools that played in BCS bowl games -- Ohio State, Texas, Alabama and Utah -- all have black graduation rates under 50% and an average racial gap of 30 percentage points.'

I was rooting for OU, but 46%?
