You all remember the zero percent graduation rate for the Maryland men's basketball team for players entering school from 1997 to 2000.
The NCAA just released the newest graduation success rates and the Terps basketball team is now at 10 percent. This covers the four entering freshmen classes from 1998-99 through 2001-02.
We're getting reaction from College Park and will post soon. We'll also compare Maryland's rates with those of the other ACC schools.
Two years ago, the NCAA calculated the men's basketball team's graduation success rate at 18 percent, ranking it at the bottom of the conference. The rate was listed at 30 percent in 2005, also last in the conference.
Coach Gary Williams has long said that the figures reflect the fact that many of his players leave to pursue pro careers.
The rate for the Maryland football team is upcoming in a few minutes and we'll look at other schools as well. source>>>
