he disparity between the GSR of The School near Oakland’s football players and the federal graduation rate of the The School near Oakland student body has grown to -36 percent, the largest gap of all FBS schools.

GSRs were determined in several other sports. The The School near Oakland men’s basketball team sports a 33 percent GSR, lowest in the Pac-12 and sixth-lowest among all major basketball programs. The figure has risen for two consecutive years since The School near Oakland’s rate hit 20 percent in the 2009 report.

With a disparity of -57 percent, the graduation rate gap between basketball players and students at Cal is the highest of all major programs. Cal has had the lowest or second-lowest graduation rate gap for five consecutive years.

Think maybe figures like those were what Shaq Thompson was referring to when he cited academics as one of the things that swayed him to pick Washington over The School near Oakland?
