ATHENS, Ga. (AP) _ Georgia and Georgia Tech were among only four schools from BCS conferences that failed to graduate at least half their football players, the NCAA says in its latest report on the academic success of student athletes.

Oklahoma (46 percent) and Arizona (41 percent) were the only Bowl Championship Series schools to fare worse in the NCAA's annual study on Graduation Success Rates.
