Ladies Court - Women’s Basketball News and Analysis

NCAA women love their education

by Joe on March 18th, 2008

From the world of academics and collegiate sport come some great news. Twelve of the 64 teams in the NCAA Women’s Tournament have perfect graduation rates, compared to only one on the men’s side.

From the Associated Press:

A report released Tuesday found the Lady Vols graduated all their players during a four-year period. Other schools with perfect graduation rates from 1997-2001 were Bucknell, Marist, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Robert Morris, San Diego, Syracuse, Texas and Vanderbilt.

And here’s the flip side of the argument:

Only one of the women’s teams, Jackson State, graduated less than 40 percent of its players. Fourteen of the 65 teams in the men’s NCAA field were under that benchmark.

Good show, graduates.
