Wow! A&M is below the national average in all three categories. I'm sure the SEC will love having them on their stat sheet.

Kudos to Texas men's basketball and OU women's basketball for their 1000 scores. They are to be commended.

That's why Texas and OU basketball teams SUCK

Why not one central scheduler? It seems to work well on other states. What makes Texas so unique, that it couldn't work here? After all it is for the good of tennis.

This is my first time seeing scores listed in this format. I assume that the numbers represent percentages with the decimal point removed. For example, the Football Div I average graduation rate is 94.8%, no?
