12 teams in the tournament have perfect graduation rates from 1997-2001: Bucknell, Marist, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Robert Morris, San Diego, Syracuse, Texas, Tennessee and Vanderbilt.

Only one men’s NCAA tournament team studied by Richard Lapchick, head of the University of Central Florida’s Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport, achieved perfect graduation success: 12th-seeded Western Kentucky.

“Women have regularly been the best news academically in college sport,” Lapchick said in the report.
