Per some new videos on experienceuvafootball.com's video vault, we now have a 93% graduation rate, the highest graduation rate for black players among ALL public universities, and the Spring 2012 team GPA was the highest in not ten, but TWENTY years.
I just want to say I am elated with our head coach and staff. They are doing a great job. Also, y'all should check out that video vault....some great clips.

No, but they might get a job as a buyer for Dress Barn after they graduate.

That is awesome. London's approach is going to continue to pay dividends. His attitude and his off-the-field approach is attracting the right kind of young men to the program.

Our African American grad rate has been the nation's highest for many years, and our athletic department grad rate has hovered in the low 90's for years. But our football program fell to near 50% under Groh. Are you telling me that we've elevated to 93% in football already? That seems nearly impossible in such a short span of time. I'd have been pleased to learn that it was up in the 70's again. Can you provide that link, please?

This just confirms that London has the best interest of the kids at heart. Parents know when they trust Mike London with their sons, he will do everything he can to make sure they get their degrees and become stronger citizens.
Hokie lurkers, that is who Mike London is. Your lies cannot overcome his accomplishments.

If you go to www.experienceuvafootball.com and click on "Video Vault" the video I'm referring to is the first in the second row of videos in that grid of clips that pops up. Some other great clips in there of our NFL Hoos, and the guys from the 90's talking about the team, and a tour of the weight room, etc
