<p>I saw a similar article today and right away thought it was not the best measure, as CT does have many guys leave for the NBA after 3 years. A better measure is APR (Academic Progress Rate), which takes turning pro into account and looks at grades and eligibility.</p>
<p>There was also a story on the news yesterday that said the vasectomy rates greatly increase during March. Apparently men think it would be a good time to take time off work.</p>
<p>Go Irish! They win in every similar type of study I’ve seen, no matter how it is measured. Interesting about the vasectomies :)</p>
<p>Well, if you have to sit home for a few days with an ice pack on your crotch, you might as well have something to take your mind off of it. :D</p>
