March Madness & Graduation rates...

<p>interesting…some of the numbers are a bit scary…</p>

<p>[March</a> Madness of graduation rates: U-Conn. loses, Notre Dame wins - Campus Overload - The Washington Post](<a href=“http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/campus-overload/post/march-madness-of-graduation-rates-u-conn-loses-notre-dame-wins/2012/03/12/gIQARKHc8R_blog.html]March”>http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/campus-overload/post/march-madness-of-graduation-rates-u-conn-loses-notre-dame-wins/2012/03/12/gIQARKHc8R_blog.html)</p>

<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>
