Nice find! Great accomplishment, Blue Devil scholars!

And, my post would not complete if I didn't quote bubba, ol roy, the hat and mack the brown who wiped their collective brows and bleated, "Thank heaven for f$u and/or GT and/or NCSU (*)!"

U*NC can't even cheat good...

But they are good at cheating their athletes out of an education.

The report is not clear to me. It references student-athletes who entered college as freshmen during the 2009-2012 period, and reports calculations of Graduation Success Rate as the percentage of those student-athletes who graduate within 6 years. The article contains the following statement, which I am finding hard to parse: "The GSR is based on student-athletes who entered college as freshmen in 2009-12 and allows for the removal of those individuals from the cohort who left Duke in good academic standing." I suspect there is at least one typo in that statement ("cohort"???), but does it allow the athletes who leave early for professional advancement to be eliminated from the statistics? Otherwise, I find it hard to agree with the stated 100% rate of the basketball program during that period (which includes at least Kyrie Irving and Austin Rivers).

These days are long gone:

Wouldn't that apply to the first basketball practice every fall? Between one-and-dones and transfers our retention rate is pretty low.
