I would, too. I'd "heard" that general graduation rates are in the 60's. Any university that had a 60% grad rate over an extended period of time would be looking for a new athletic staff.

Okay, this site has some dated info, from 2002, indicating a 51% graduation rate within 5 years of entering college as a freshman. I haven't seen anything to indicate that rate has gone up markedly. I'm trying to find overall rates, though, for men's basketball teams at the D1 level.
