UNC CAMPUS Y STUDENTS FOR HEALTHY SPORTS TEAMS CONGRATULATES ROY WILLIAMS ON A SUCCESSFUL SEASON

Members of UNC's Campus Y group - Students for Healthy Sports Teams - congratulated Roy Williams on the health of his team.

"Notwithstanding the team's current 14-13 record and ongoing player injuries, one can see from the team's photo the health/success of Roy William's current season. We congratulate him."

Sound absurd? Well dadgummit it is.

Yes, the team is pretty diverse. I count 10 of one ethnic persuasion and 6 of another.

One little problem with the above statement. The team's graduation, oops I mean won/loss record. After 27 games, they've won 14 games and lost 13.

Let's go to the stats.

Percent not graduating, oops I meant not won is at 48%.
Percent graduating, oops I meant won is at 52%.

Gosh those numbers look familiar. Let's look at the graduation rates for FNR students in Wake County.

Not graduating: 45.8%
Graduating: 54.2%

On the count of three, ONE BIG CHEER!!!

Get Wake Education Partnership, the Raleigh Chamber, CCCAAC, Great Schools (not students) in Wake County and every other status quo failure group some pom poms.
