10 percent of Ohio State basketball players received degrees

Just 10 percent of Ohio State's basketball players received degrees at the school, according to a study that examined the freshman classes entering from 1996-99.

Taking into account players who transfer, enter from junior colleges and are graduated late, 38 percent of Buckeyes basketball players earned degrees during that period, Richard Lapchick, director of the University of Central Florida's Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports, said Monday.

"The supposed Final Four, the top seeds are a real disparity there. Two of the schools, Florida and North Carolina, have really good graduation rates and Kansas and Ohio State don't have such good graduation rates," Lapchick said. "That's certainly an issue."

Other NCAA tournament-bound programs with low FGRs were: Tennessee (8 percent), UNLV (10 percent), Maryland (13 percent), Texas A&M (15 percent), Virginia Tech (17 percent), Gonzaga and Louisville (22 percent), Georgia Tech, Kentucky and Oral Roberts (23 percent), Memphis and North Texas and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (25 percent).

Based on the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate scores from last year, Lapchick said Florida A&M, New Mexico State, and Texas A&M could be subject to loss of basketball scholarships next year.

Day late and a dollar short

that's why the boosters gave them all gifts.  figured they should get something, and obviously they weren't getting an education.

you know, I bet myself a dollar that one of you tards would be posting on this one. Yeah we have a low basketball graduation  rate, who gives a crap? You think they come here for an education? No, they come here on their way to becoming millionares in the NBA, people go to school to get a degree in order to make more money in their careers, who needs a degree when your making 10 figures. Hard concept to understand...I know.  You may go back to milking 101 now

Yet the Hawkpocrisy will make stupid statements about Hugginn.  Then be completely unable to understand how the NCAA calculates graduation rates . . . then cling to some ku rebuttal using statistics from a body that has no bearing whatsoever on how the NCAA handles academic affairs and graduation rates . . . information that's way outdated to boot.

But what do you expect from a fan base that looked like a bunch of New Jersey Guido's or fat pasty white guys in the stands down in OKC.
