The National Collegiate Athletic Association released its annual report today on the academic progress of Division I athletes, penalizing 137 teams at 80 institutions for the poor academic performance of their athletes. This is the sixth year the NCAA has published the exhaustive analysis, which measures the retention and academic eligibility of scholarship athletes as well as their progress toward degrees. The sports of men’s basketball, football, and baseball, which have historically lagged behind other teams in their performance in the classroom, posted the lowest average scores. The Chronicle will have more on this story later today.
