Of the 65 teams that were in the 2005 NCAA Basketball Tournament, the institution with the lowest graduation rate for basketball players was the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, whose previous Chancellor was none other than Nancy Zimpher.

WOW. I don’t know where you found that HP, but that’s good stuff. You should post that on the Cinci boards, they would love to see that.

I decided to check those numbers and while UWM was woeful at a 15% graduation rate, that beat/equaled the following:
Farleigh Dickinson 11%
Kentucky 8% LSU 0%
Minnesota 0%
New Mexico 14%
Oklahoma State 11%
Pitt 15%
Other “notables” on the list (25% or lower)…
