A nine-year (1999-2007) study of the correlation between school football success and overall student (not just student-athlete) GPA at the University of Oregon has found a direct inverse correlation between the team's record and the overall GPA of male students. As the football team improved, the overall grades of male students declined (associated, the study suggests, with increased game watching. drinking, and partying on the part of men, and less time spent hitting the books).
