Interesting statistic
Here's an interesting fact:
Fourteen teams in the women's NCAA tournament have perfect graduation rates - ESPN Does anyone know what the stats are for all NCAA women's? For men's teams in the tourney? For all NCAA men's teams? |
NCAA Division I Mens Basketball Graduation Rates ...

Unless they've changed their calculations, graduation rates can be deceptive in men's basketball, especially at the higher level programs where players commonly leave early for the NBA or transfer to other universities (my understanding is that both of those situations will adversely affect graduation rates) and there are only about three or four new freshman each year on average. IOW, each defection has a pretty big affect on a schools graduation rate.

Thanks for the links, Billy!

And OJ Mayo, for example, will be hitting USC's graduation rate in a couple of years. Also, I'm pretty certain D-1 men's basketball teams as a whole far outpace the general college population on graduation rates. |

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.
