7:07PM EDT October 25. 2012 - Not so long ago, Notre Dame athletics director
Jack Swarbrick was at football practice when a coach — along with the
players, Swarbrick says, he'll remain nameless to protect the innocent —
singled out a player during the post-practice huddle.
"Hey, I saw you got a B on your chemistry exam," the coach said, as related
by Swarbrick. "I wanted to tell you how proud I am. I know how tough that
class is for you and what a stretch it is."
Then the coach turned to two other players: "I saw you got C's. You're every
bit as smart as him. You need to work harder."
"The point is," Swarbrick said, "he knew what every one of them got on their
exams."
Sure, it warms an athletics director's heart. So does news like Thursday's,
when the NCAA released the latest Graduation Success Rate figures. Notre
Dame's football graduation rate of 97% led all teams currently in the USA
TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, and tied for first (with Northwestern) among all
Bowl Subdivision schools.
"I'm biased," Swarbrick said, "but I'd argue that's every bit as hard as
winning the national championship on the field … because everybody's trying
to win it."
Meanwhile, the Southeastern Conference's football dominance might extend to
the classroom, too, at least as measured by the GSR. Of teams currently in
the coaches poll, the SEC had five of the top 13 when ordered by GSR.
Football heavyweights LSU (No 6, 77% GSR), Alabama (No. 7, 75%) and Florida
(No. 8, 75%) led the way for the SEC. Those teams are all in the top six of
the coaches poll.
"It sends exactly the right message," NCAA President Mark Emmert said. "
There's some illusion out there that being a great athlete and being a great
student are incompatible.
"Those institutions prove exactly the opposite. … When you've got whole
teams performing at that level, it sends exactly the right message to the
whole world."
Then there's Connecticut basketball, with a graduation rate of 11%, which
ranked ahead of only Chicago State (9%) and was a 14-point decrease from
last year. For all teams, the graduation rate for men's basketball was 74%.
Connecticut is already ineligible for postseason play this season because of
poor performance in the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate.
Walter Harrison, president of the University of Hartford and chair of the
NCAA's Committee on Academic Progress, said Connecticut's graduation rates
are a reflection of the APR scores.

Walter Harrison, president of the University of Hartford and chair of the
NCAA's Committee on Academic Progress, said Connecticut's graduation rates
are a reflection of the APR scores.
"It starts with who you admit into your program, making sure you admit
student-athletes who can handle the academic requirements to remain eligible
," Harrison said. "The institutions that have succeeded have put some
thought into providing the academic support that student-athletes need to
meet the challenges."
The GSR measures graduation over a six-year period. The figures released
Thursday are for students who entered college in 2005. Unlike the federal
graduation rate, the GSR takes into account transfer students and students
who leave school while in good academic standing.
The figures also made for another interesting comparison of a marquee
matchup. Notre Dame, No. 5 in the coaches poll, takes on No. 7 Oklahoma in a
game with implications in the BCS race. While Notre Dame ranks No. 1 in GSR
among teams in the coaches poll, Oklahoma is 25th, with a graduation rate
of 47%.. Oklahoma's overall ranking was 220th of 236 football schools in
Division I and last among teams in the leagues with automatic berths in the
BCS.
The latest graduation rate for all FBS football programs is 70%, an increase
of one point from last year. The rate for men's basketball programs rose
six points. For both sports, the rates are the highest in the 11 years the
GSR has been compiled. In that time, the rate for men's basketball has
increased 18 percentage points; football's rate has increased seven points.
Overall, the graduation rate for NCAA athletes who entered college from 2002
-2005 was 80%. The GSR for the 2005 class was 81%, a decrease of one
percentage point from last year. |
