In the area of "all" student athletes the rankings were this
Notre Dame 99%
Valparaiso 92%
IPFW 91%
Evansville 88%
Butler 84%
Div. 1 average 80%
Indiana 77%
Purdue 77%
Ball State 73%
IUPUI 72%
Indiana State 72%
Valpo is behind ND by a fairly large amount but second overall. Also 8% higher than Butler.
It's nice to know when making the choice between IU and Purdue there is no difference in graduation rates. They both are below average.
The basketball teams ranked like this:
Notre Dame 100%
IPFW 83%
Butler 82%
Valparaiso 78%
Div.1 average 66%
Ball State 61%
Evansville 57%
Purdue 50%
Indiana 47%
Indiana State 33%
IUPUI 33%
Valpo can't beat out Butler in basketball in this category either. IUPUI and Indiana State really suck in all aspects of graduating athletes.
According to the article, this is also one area where our football team excels!
