Subject: BBall Grad Rates from Today's NY Times

Men's bball grad rates for NCAA Tournament teams for scholarship players entering 1994-1997 .

The Saints, Bucknell & Utah State (100%)

The Sinners, LSU & Minnesota 0%

The Catholics, St Mary's 71%, Nova 67%, Niagara 58%, Creighton 55%, Gonzaga 43%, BC 38%.

Other notables UNC 67%, Duke 58%, GW 40%, OK State 11% & Ky 8%.

This was before our demise under the last coach so we probably did okay but I suspect we would be near the bottom for his tenure.

If I am not mistaken, transfers and players leaving the program factor into this equation, which I am sure kills our grad rate from the Hill years. (NT) -- Air Hej '02, Wed March 16, 2005 13:45:05
The truly sad thing about these numbers if I read the article correctly was that it measured graduation rate within SIX YEARS of admission. Unbelievable, although some of the bigger programs probably have defections due to players turning pro. (NT) -- mjross, Wed March 16, 2005 17:20:24
- These numbers are voodoo accounting. Plus, the eternal chciken and the egg like question. Is it more morally and ethically correct to not give a kid a degree who doesnt earn it or is it worse to pass a kid through and give him a degree he/she does not deserve? Sometimes a higher graduation rate might be more of a problem. (NT) -- ant hill, Wed March 16, 2005 17:59:10
