    Apparently just the NCAA. Don't they take away scholarships or something if the rate falls to low? Just another examply of how the NCAA is stupid.

    Coaches dont care if you graduate. They just want you stay eligible. Basketball rates ridiculous.

    They say they care, but wins keep them employed.

    Purnell cares. His teams are getting better in both talent and intelligence. It just takes a little time to build a program.

    That's definitely a possibility if he stays at Clemson long enough. I certainly hope he's able to improve it. I'd hate to have any of them having to work with you.

    The only thing it really proves is Clemson has dumber no play bench players than other schools.

    Purnell's a good coach and you probably saw him tearing up during the senior speeches (He really lost it when K.C. was talking). He's a good one. How long do you think they can keep him? I sorta expect some other teams to come knocking at some point and I think I remember his salary being kinda low for the conference, but I may be wrong on that.
