A few things to keep in mind when looking a "graduation rates" that the NCAA publishes.
1. If a player transfers to another school and graduates there, they still count against you as not graduating. They onlt count for a team if they graduated from that school, yet they count against a team if they don't graduate from that specific school. They often are transferring to D2/D3/JC schools that don't get the noteriety and probably have higher rates of graduation from players.
2. They have a limited time to graduate (5 years I think). I took 5.5 but I still graduated. Several of the players complete their degrees after their playing eligibilty expires. Yet, these players count against you as not graduating.
Just because a team has 0% doesn't mean that noone graduated, it only means they didn't graduate within tight NCAA limits.
