08:26 AM ET 07.04 | With the arrival of Florida's "Summer B" session Monday, the Gators are awaiting the arrival of three recruits. At least one might not make it on to the team. Venice DT Dante Phillips has been cleared by the NCAA clearinghouse but denied admission by UF. John Peacock, Phillips' high school coach, said that decision is being appealed this week. Peacock had not spoke with UF officials, but said, "I just think it was overall what was on his transcript. He had a lot of classes he had to make up through virtual school." A 6-foot-6, 265-pound tackle, Phillips chose Florida over Miami, USF and LSU. Peacock said Phillips would wait for the result of his appeal before looking elsewhere. He ranked 120th overall in Rivals.com's final 2012 class rankings.

What I'd like to know is which universities have "guarantees" on their graduates?

I can think of several that were "defective" (in manufacturing terms) and need to be recycled or run through there again.

And no, not all of them are aggies....several, but not all.

LOL, the post MAKES a hell of alot of sense!! It tells you which school "offer a full range of undergraduate majors, master's, and doctoral degrees. These colleges also are committed to producing ground breaking research". I understand that most football fans, don't give a rats's ass about this fact, as it really isn't related to football and this article, but regardless it is a very interesting fact to some of us!!

I think the question, at least for me, is how did they rank that?
