Education Secretary Duncan: Ban NCAA teams with low grad rates - USATODAY.com

Hear, hear! But I very much doubt this will happen as long as colleges remain pro basketball's farm system.

Education Secretary Duncan: Ban NCAA teams with low grad rates - USATODAY.com:

"WASHINGTON — If U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan had his way, a dozen of the teams in the men's NCAA basketball tournament would not be eligible to play in it, including top-seeded Kentucky.
Duncan proposes teams with graduation rates of less than 40% be banned from postseason play."

I would raise this to 60%. Over half graduate. A 40% graduation rate is a joke. And still the pro jocks hate it.
