Study: Top schools in tournament aren’t tops in classroom

North Carolina was the only school among the four No. 1 seeds in the NCAA men’s tournament to graduate at least 50 percent of its players.

Not to take this away from UNC, but I will always remember Coach K. refusing to hang an ACC championship banner in Cameron Indoor Stadium until Abdlenaby graduated. I like that at Duke (and it seems UNC) the majority of the players actually get the degree! The NBA is only successful to a small number.
