Out of all the #1 seeds in the NCAA tournament, only ONE has an athlete graduation rate higher than 50%.
You see where this is going, I'm sure. Carolina has an athlete graduation rate of 86%. Kansas - 45%, Memphis and UCLA - 40%.
I wonder how much of this is attributed to players leaving early for the NBA.
FYI, Duke's graduation rate is only 67%. Just another way that we are better than them. (:
ESPN says: Academically, this year the Final Four would include five teams: Western Kentucky (100 percent graduation success), Butler (92 percent), Notre Dame (91 percent), Purdue (91 percent), and Davidson (91 percent). Xavier, a No. 3 seed, was close behind with a 90 percent success rate.
