Athletes on women's basketball teams competing in this year's NCAA Division I tournament graduate at a significantly higher rate than their male counterparts, according to a report released today. The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport, at the University of Central Florida, reports that 58 of the 62 women's teams that reported graduation-success rates, or 94 percent, graduated at least 50 percent of their players within six years. That compares with 69 percent, or 44, of the 64 men's teams that reported. The institute released its annual rankings of graduation-success rates and academic-progress rates for the men's teams on Monday.
