It is cool to see us listed in the big east- but we have have some work to do here.  I am sure Coach Mac will have us closer to the top of this list.

how on earth do we only graduate 25% of our athletes... that # doesn't sound right.

I love this dig at Cinci

Into its intricate labyrinth of rules, the NCAA wants to incorporate new sanctions against basketball programs that neglect the academic portion of that agreement

That doesn't give Cincinnati much time to replace those cardboard facades with actual classroom buildings

We must have gotten killed for all of our transfers and players leaving.  Coach Mac will improve this number.

Excellent point.  IMO transfers to another school should not count against a graduation rate.

that would open up a big loophole if they didn't count... basically expell or force transfer of anyone that isn't doing well right before they graduate and they wouldn't count.  I think it should count... a good program/system isn't going to have a high number of people jumping ship so easily.  Hopefully that changes in the future for us.
