Marquette finishes in the top 10 for graduation rates among NCAA teams
Written by: muwarrior92
Lapchick concluded, “As always, there are schools that win big enough to be here in March and graduate their student-athletes. If we were to choose a Top Ten for Graduation Success Rates,these schools would be there: Butler, Davidson, Marquette, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Purdue, San Diego, Villanova, Western Kentucky, and Xavier. The Final Four would include Butler, Notre Dame, Purdue and Western Kentucky.â€
Those were the findings of Richard Lapchick in his annual survey of the NCAA Tournament and academics released today.
The entire study can be found here....Marquette finished with a 89% graduation rate.

Our pals in Madison finished with a rather pedestrian 67% (only 40% for African American players).
Another nice accomplishment by Marquette University, Tom Crean, the players and the academic staff.
