<p>barrons,
First, I think that the GSR data includes kids who transfer or go pro as a positive number if they are at the required academic mileposts at the time of their departure.</p>
<p>Second, I don’t think many women’s basketball players are going pro from either school.</p>
<p>Third, I’d be interested to see the differences in pro departures for all of these sports. Notre Dame has historically been pretty good at this, haven’t they? </p>
<p>IMO, the more accurate interpretation is that one school (Notre Dame) recruits a higher caliber student and puts more resources and effort into helping that student graduate.</p>
