I'm a football alum, I have a degree from UNI and it has served me well. What is the current status?

Discuss.

With the economy the way it is right now, having a degree (no matter from where) isn't too much of an impact... although I am just a 2010 grad pursuing my masters.

It has an impact on how the NCAA views a school and their sports programs.
(granted, that impact is secondary to how much $$$ the particular school brings in for the NCAA, but since UNI isn't part of the cash cow conferences, graduation rates do have an impact for them)

The NCAA provides the answers you seek....

NCAA reports for all UNI sports through 2003
2009 NCAA Div 1 UNI Report

So, what does it say about football:
2002-03 football grad rate - 65%
2002-03 Athletics grad rate - 62%
2002-03 student grad rate - 63%
4 class (avg) football grad rate - 61%
4 class (avg) Athletics grad rate - 59%
4 class (avg) student grad rate - 65%
The student-athlete success rate for football is 65%. That number takes into account all transfers in, transfers out, deaths, etc.
The student-athlete success rate for all athletics is 76%.

It is important to note that the NCAA report only identifies those students receiving schollys as student-athletes.
The reports show 2002-03 as the students entering in that year have now exhausted 6 years of eligibility.
The 4 class rating combines the graduation rates of the classes entering the university during years 1999-00, 2000-01, 2001-02 and 2002-03.

According to the BOR site, the volleyball team reported a 100% graduation rate! That is something that had to be recognized!
