<p>again, we come to this private vs. public discussion. </p>
<p>I’m more familiar with basketball and a bigger fan, so let me list a few graduation rates for your top privates:</p>
<p>[Scout.com:</a> The Bootleg’s Graduation Rate Analysis](<a href=“Cardinal 247 - Stanford Cardinal Football Recruiting”>Cardinal 247 - Stanford Cardinal Football Recruiting)</p>
<p>scroll to the bottom to the basketball vs. all students graduation difference section.</p>
<p>Boston College - 31% vs. 88% for all students
Duke U. - 40% vs. 93% for all students
Georgetown - 42% vs. 93% for all students
USC- 27% vs. 78% for all students
Northwestern- 43% vs. 92% for all students
Notre Dame- 53% vs. 95% for all students</p>
<p>While some of these schools produce NBA players, schools like USC and Northwestern, Notre Dame aren’t well represented in the NBA. And there’s so few players drafted in the NBA(2 rounds, 40-50 college players total per year) that it doesn’t really make a big difference. </p>
<p>Better programs–>Lower graduation rate(and probably lower SATs).</p>
