Graduation Rates Fall for Athletes.
Haworth, Karla
Chronicle of Higher Education, v45 n13 pA41-A42 Nov 20 1998
Graduation rates of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I scholarship athletes have shown the first across-the-board decline since the Association began publishing rates in 1990. Much attention this year has focused on male basketball players; only 41% of those who entered college in 1991 graduated within six years. Many leave to become professional athletes. (MSE)
