Only 23 men's teams in the 65-team NCAA Tournament managed to graduate at least 50 percent of its student athletes while women's teams in the postseason continue to graduate at a much higher rate, according to a University of Central Florida study released Tuesday.
I think worrying about how many b-ballers graduate is a bunch of crap, but not graduating any is not a good reflection on your program.

I would say as long as you can get 45% of your kids a degree, your fulfilling your academic duty.

That statistic is somewhat flawed in the sense that transfers count as not having graduated, whether or not they have graduated.

Transfers AND early exits to the NBA.
