CatnipOligarchy Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 The NCAA is going to impose a graduation rate threshold, which will vary by school beginning in 2006. INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA approved a sweeping package of academic reforms Thursday that will penalize schools starting in 2006 if athletes perform too poorly in the classroom."This is the beginning of a sea change in college sports," NCAA president Myles Brand said. "Landmark legislation was passed to ensure each and every student-athlete has a genuine opportunity to receive a high quality education and graduate." To avoid punishment, schools will have to stay above a still-undetermined "cut line" that includes graduation rates as one of the factors showing academic progress. Brand said graduation targets for each school are being calculated. This fall, he said, each school will be notified "how much at risk it would have been" had the new standards already been in place. more - http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=1792535 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
