This usually includes transfers and early departures....

 

So if a kid entered School A but graduated from School B is A dinged?

Why no Jeer for UT and MSU....:lol:

 

U of L is the lowest in-state team.

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.

 

100% graduation rate and zero wins :thumb:

Yes....

 

Transfers really hurts them.

 

Honestly this entire article is a little misleading. The APR is all that matters. If you are below a 925 for 3 years, a team can lose 10% of their scholarships (according to tidesport.org.)

 

UofL is a 941, Morehead St is a 877, WKU 937

That's what I got from reading the study as well. Western has a 100 percent graduation rate, but their APR is lower than Louisville's. I really don't understand this study.

I think graduation rate is all that matters. That's why a student is supposedly in school, isnt it?

Graduation rates and APR are independant of each other. One is a historical number, the other is more of a progress report for the roster at a particular point in time.

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).

What in the world is going on at CS-Northridge?:ohbrother:

 

I take it is not going to class. :lol:

I am shocked at the disparity between African American and White basketball players when it comes to the graduation rate. For example: Morehead, 43% rate for African Americans and 60% for whites, Ohio State 44% African Americans and 100% whites, West Virginia, 30% and 50%. There are worse schools, but I was concentrating on our area schools. Anyone have an opinion on this?

What % of the basketball population at each school is white? My guess is that if you bring in 4 or 5 kids per year on average 1 to 1.5 are white. That is going to skew the numbers.

I am referring to penalties/sanctions, etc.

 

I disagree, a kid who goes to a major University to play basketball is not too concerned with graduating. That doesn't make it right, just the truth. It would be interesting to see how schools are graduating students as a whole, instead of breaking down by sports. I would be willing to beat many more athletes graduate than the normal student. The percentage would be very low. How many kids go one semester and quit?

 

This statistics are flawed too. Most big universities have a lot of early departures and transfers that hurt their graduation rate. You should compare apples to apples.

McGee and T-Will are both on track to graduate. That is good enough for me. The "scholar-athlete" mantra for DI basketball and football has never held much water for me. Lets call it what it is, and all involved are guilty.
