Grades were great....All GT football players eligible for bowl**

The rhetoric was "look to your left, look to your right, one of you three won't graduate," as best as I recall. That rhetoric corresponds to a 66.667% graduation rate. The figure I referenced noted 69% grad rate after 5 years, hence 2.333%.

Well, in 1975 the line was "look to your left, and look to your right, one of you will be here in 4 years." Not saying it was true, the they really made it seem that you would be lucky to survive.

Well I guess what went wrong in that 2% calculation was that you had to compare it to retention rate of 2000 (79%) since it seems like 'look to your sides quote' applies to 5 year retention of 1986 (68%).
