LSU athletics reaches 90 percent in Graduation Success Rate

LSU's student athletes are graduating at an all-time high according to the most recent Graduation Success Rate according to the NCAA.

The Tigers athletic department hit 90 percent for the first time in school history, up two points from where the school stood a year ago.

The current GSR score is calculated from the four entering classes from 2007-2008 through 2010-11.

According to LSU's press release, the GSR score was at 69 percent when athletic director Joe Alleva took over in 2008. The score has improved in all but one year since he took over - and in that one year span it didn't improve, the score stayed the same (81 in 2013 and 2014).
