Student-athletes: 60% graduation rate in 6 years
http://espn.go.com/ncaa/news/2002/0926/1437078.html
apparently, this is an all-time high ever since they started tracking this 18 yrs ago. this is 2% higher than the rate for the general population!!! "highlights:" -male athletes have a 54% graduation rate and female ones 69%. -division I black males 43%, females 60% -male basketball players 36% (black 28%, white 51%) -female basketball players 65% (black 59%, white 69%) -division I football players 52% it's amazing to me how skewed these figures are...

Of course, this doesn't take into account transfers or people who drop out of school, so this is more of a graduation and retention measure. Still important to see, though.

Is it still true that Cincinnati has not had a basketball player graduate in like 10 years?

The Bearcats last season had a cumulative GPA of over 2.5, and 3 of their freshmen players were over 3.0. UC actually won the Conference USA academic award this year, for whatever that's worth.
They still have that zero-grad rate, but that doesn't count any jucos or transfers from other schools. Even with all that, it's still a pretty sad situation down here, and hopefully it gets better. |

And my alma mater (WVU) wanted to hire Huggins as their new coach. Whew.
