In "B-ball claims NCAA's grad AU rate is wrong," the headline should read "B-ball claims NCAA's AU grad rate is wrong." Also, the article stated that the NCAA uses Graduation Success Rates as its main gauge of academic success. The article did not mention that the NCAA uses a measure called the Academic Progress Rate to measure success in this area. The GSR data accounts for all students who began college between 1997 and 2000 and determines how many students graduate within six years. The final data is not eight years old as reported; it is only one or two years old.
