Duke is #7 in Graduation Success Rate at 92%, just behind BC and ND at 94% and Stanford and Air Force at 93%.

The ACC has four of the top 10 (actually 11 as there was a tie for #10), which does not count non-football member ND!
I found it interesting that Miami was in the top 10 at 86%. Considering the average is 71%, not too shabby! There have been those on this board defending UM's academics, but I have had trouble erasing the thug mentality the football team had years ago with the Championship game(s?) against ND. Miami being in the top ten, but not UVA or GaTech is impressive.
I heard unc reported a graduation success rate of 126%. Mostly AFAM majors.
Other than NW, no Big Whatever teams in the top ten. No SEC teams. Shocking. Two military academies and Rice: no surprise.
Boise State? Who knew?
What is impressive is that the average for athletes is higher than the general college populace. Maybe these kids are getting something out of the deal.
