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.
