I would have thought 8% was an improvement.

They got up to 10% from zero and dropped off again.

What gets me here is tennis. For a sport where someone who's 21 is ready for the senior circuit and where lots of NCAA schools recruit players who use tennis to get a degree, how do you get a graduation rate of 17 percent?

The justifications from UMCB are beginning to sound like a broken records: www.casualhoya.com/2009/11/20/1166909/university-of-maryland-collegeAnd this was from last year: The data also does not include recent graduates. Anton Goff, Maryland's associate athletic director for academic support and career development, said five of the Terps' seven scholarship seniors graduated in the last two years. Goff said the Terps' lone senior this season, forward Dave Neal, is on track to graduate in May and everyone else on the roster is averaging at least 30 credits a year and remains on schedule to earn a degree within four years. However, those developments will not surface in the graduation data for several years. “If it were done right now, I'll match our record with anybody in the country,” Williams said. “It's old news. This has been covered before. We have a great academic support situation now.” |

These were the same excuses they used several years ago -- that it would improve over the next few years. It hasn't.

Compare this to a guy like Jeff Green - spending the summer after his 2nd NBA season in the classroom, working towards his degree. It won't count towards are stats, but that's not what's important. What's important is having your priorities in order, and players coming through our program clearly get that right.

James Gist is better than Jeff Green.
