March 17, 200917 yr A study has been released that details graduation rates of the NCAA Tournament teams. Western Kentucky is one of 7 teams with a 100% graduation rate. U of L is a little less than stellar at 42%. UCONN is 33% North Carolina is 86% The five lowest rates were at Cal State Northridge (8 percent), Maryland (10 percent), Portland State (17 percent), Arizona (20 percent) and Clemson (29 percent). http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/ncaatourney09/news/story?id=3987923 What in the world is going on at CS-Northridge?:ohbrother:
March 17, 200917 yr Author Is this graduation rates from the team only or from the University all together? Team only is the way I understood it.
March 17, 200917 yr I don't feel like looking this up myself, so does anyone have a link to how these graduation rates are compiled? Does it count transfers as non-graduations? I'd just like to see how the numbers are put together.

March 17, 200917 yr All sports or just B-ball. Would like to see what the graduation rate is for all incoming freshmen at each of these schools.
March 17, 200917 yr Author All sports or just B-ball. Would like to see what the graduation rate is for all incoming freshmen at each of these schools. I think it is just for basketball team only.
March 17, 200917 yr Author Here is the actual study: http://web.bus.ucf.edu/documents/sport/2009_division_i_mens_basketball_tournament_teams_study.pdf
March 17, 200917 yr Author "Seven of these teams will be subject to contemporaneous penalties by the NCAA, including Cal State Northridge, Southern California, Cleveland State, Morehead State, Portland State, Purdue and Tennessee."
March 17, 200917 yr Author After looking at the numbers, I can't figure out what's going on at Northridge. Only 56% of their overall student-athletes graduate...0% of African-American basketball players...50% of White basketball players...8% total basketball players
March 17, 200917 yr from the link: The graduation rates were based on whether freshmen who entered school between the 1998-99 and 2001-02 school years earned diplomas within six years. Also noticed that FSU is 100%..... ugh... ok. It's easy when you got all the answers.

March 17, 200917 yr "Seven of these teams will be subject to contemporaneous penalties by the NCAA, including Cal State Northridge, Southern California, Cleveland State, Morehead State, Portland State, Purdue and Tennessee." Why no Jeer for UT and MSU....:lol:
