Not bad Hawkeyes:

The Iowa Hawkeyes are one of only nine bowl-bound college football teams with a NCAA Graduation Success Rate of 80 percent or better. The NCAA developed the GSR to more accurately assess the academic success of student-athletes.
97 – Notre Dame (Independent)
94 – Northwestern (Big Ten)
89 – Rutgers (Big East)
87 – Stanford (Pac-12)
87 – Penn State (Big Ten)
86 – Vanderbilt (Southeastern)
84 – Air Force (Mountain West)
83 – Iowa (Big Ten)
81 – Wake Forest (Atlantic Coast)

The GSR does not punish schools for athletes leaving early, as long as those athletes left in good academic standing.

Ah that changes it then, SEC really needs to focus more on this then. Pretty sad not to have at least one.
