@PitchingFan posted:I would somewhat disagree TPM. Last year we were on the road during graduation. SEC sets schedule not the coaches. Our guys did a little celebration but most of our players who would have graduated said they would not have walked even if they had been home because it would have been a game day and the game was more important than sitting in a stadium with 100,000 people. They had a team celebration and moved on.
Perhaps you are correct in some cases.
Most big Universities will do graduations over a weekend or sometimes 2, depending on the degree and what sport you were involved in.
Or perhaps it's the University putting importance on what really IS important. And the AD and coaches making sure that it happens.
Good for them.
