Who knows -- just providing the information I received. That said, here's some info on Edsall that suggests he has a strong graduation record (taken from his coaching bio at the UConn sports website):
In addition to the great success on the field, UConn has performed admirably in the classroom under Edsall. In five of the past seven years, including 2007, `08 and `09, UConn was recognized by the American Football Coaches Association for its high graduation rate.
In the latest release of the NCAA Graduation Success Rate (released in October of 2009), UConn had the highest mark of any BIG EAST team. In 2008, UConn had the highest GSR for African-American student-athletes among all state universities that participated in a bowl game following the 2008 season.
In 2009, the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate (APR) for the UConn football team was an impressive 951, which was third in the BIG EAST Conference and just five points behind the second-highest team. That mark also placed Connecticut ahead of the Bowl Subdivision average of 941 and among the top thirty percent of schools in the country.
In 2007, UConn was one of just six schools to play in a bowl game and also boast a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) over 80-percent for both its Caucasian and African-American student-athletes.
In 2003, UConn was the only public I-A school to graduate at least 90 percent of its football players and in 2005, UConn was one of only eight schools to both graduate 70 percent and win a bowl game.
