""I think we recognized that all of my football players are at-risk -- all of them -- really," Kelly told Notre Dame Insider. "Honestly, I don't know that any of our players would get into the school by themselves right now with the academic standards the way they are. Maybe one or two of our players that are on scholarship."
Of course, the players wouldn't get into nd without football. nd has high admissions standards, but it is often the case at universities that football players are not as well qualified as the regular students. Nevertheless, a lot of players graduate. Some schools pull shenanigans to make that happen, but not all schools do. So even though the nd players wouldn't get in without football, they can't hang in some program academically?
kelly's statement is concerning for a number of reasons, one of which being that nd reports a graduate rate over 90% year after year.
