Yahoo.com, March 15, 2011The graduation rate for both white players (91 percent) and black players (59 percent) has increased, but so has the gap between the rates of black and white players (32 points). This led the report to the following conclusion: "Presently, too many of our predominantly white campuses are not fully welcoming places for students of color, whether or not they are athletes. There are lessons that our campuses could learn from athletics." That's probably true, even though I'm not sure how you make that conclusion based on an arbitrary look at graduation rates.

Ohh surprise surprise white players graduation rate is 32% higher than black players. I think anyone in the world could of told you that. It must be that more black players are in the NBA, but more black guys are also in jail. So for Kemba Walker he either is going to the NBA or going to jail what a bitch. White guys however either make it to the NBA to ride the bench JJ Redick style or they graduate and get a job like a normal human being. You have the rare case of a Mike Bibby or Jason Kidd who will eventually end up in jail but one is half black and the other wants to be black. So we have Kemba Walker going to the NBA and then jail and then Jimmer Fredette will go to the NBA and then work for Stop and Shop.
