Obviously, we would like to see 100 percent. But 75 percent is our goal and it is also important to above the student body rate.

If we are gathering all of the facts and information relative to the situation to solve the problem and then the NCAA has no problems, then it works.

I think that number is staggering. It means a lot to have a rate that high.

Sure, you want to keep them down. All it means is you are catching these problems and then fixing them without help from the NCAA.

When you look at roster sizes and everything else it makes sense. Obviously, it's nice when these numbers improve and we are trying to do everything we can for that to happen.

We should always compare those numbers because that is who our kids are sitting in classes with. This shows our services we provide are benefiting our student athletes.

Sometimes there are problems, but when you compare us to our conference we are doing well. We just need to continue to get better.

For the last seven years we have been factoring transfers out of the federal numbers to see where we should be. It just helps you review your department better.
