I remember watching a Xavier game earlier this year and hearing the the announcer say something to the effect of Xavier has a 100% grad rate under Miller. That is unreal. NO college hoops squad does that. Great article

NO college hoops squad does that. Not many, perhaps, but the latest info I've seen is that 27 men's DI teams had 100% graduation rates including 7 in this year's tournament, including Binghamton, Florida State, Marquette, Robert Morris, Utah State, Wake Forest and Western Kentucky.

Odd that there is no mention of Xavier, though.

Florida State huh? I wonder how they pulled that off.

Maybe their "tutors" are more careful than the football team's.

I didn't research it to see if it was actually true, it was just something that was said on a broadcast. Res, is that just for this year? Because I know within the last couple of years, people have left someof those schools. Namely Chris Paul at Wake Forest who left after I believe his Freshman year 3-4 years ago.

It was in an article dated March 16, 2009, and the list of tournament teams was correct, so I'm assuming it's this year. Also, I forget how this is calculated, but I believe this year's stats are for players who entered school in 2001, so someone leaving a couple of years ago wouldn't yet count against them.

Xavier's media guide said it has a 100% grad rate

Florida State huh? I wonder how they pulled that off. My thoughts exactly. They, and Memphis, are probably the last two schools in the touney this year I would have expected to have 100% graduation rates.

If I am not mistaken (which is entirely possible) I think the NCAA discounts all transfers. I heard somewhere that they automatically count against your grad rate. X could be saying that every kid that playes ends up graduating and so they feel they have a 100% grad rate. Again this could be wrong, but it would make sense as to why the numbers are different.

There is the older "Federal" graduation rate and the newer GSR, or Graduation Success Rate. Transfers negatively affect the Federal rate. However, out-going transfers are not counted against an institution in the calculation of the GSR as long as they leave in "good academic standing". It is the GSRs that are discussed above and that schools almost exclusively report now. The 2008 data, which use the incoming freshman class of '01-'02 as its "cohort" (remember, the NCAA gives incoming freshman 6 years to graduate), shows Xavier with an 82% graduation rate.
So unless the data Xavier sent to the NCAA last year was inaccurate, somebody did not graduate in 6 years or somebody left the program who was not in good academic standing at the time.
