Every year the National Collegiate Athletics Association compiles data about graduation rates for student athletes.  In this year’s data, which looks at students who started college in 2002, Georgetown student-athletes had a graduation rate of 86 percent—well above the Division I average of 63 percent.

The graduation rate for student athletes at Georgetown is slightly lower than the overall graduation rate, 94 percent.

The report also gives graduation rates for specific sports.  Several teams had 100 percent graduation rates, including Men’s Golf and Women’s Crew, Field Hockey, Golf, Swimming and Tennis. Other teams with graduation rates above 85 percent were Men’s Baseball and Lacrosse and Women’s Lacrosse, Soccer and Volleyball.

The team with the lowest graduation rate was Men’s Basketball, which had a graduation rate of 60 percent.  The graduation rate for Georgetown’s Basketball team is still higher than the Division I average for the sport of 48 percent.

Compiling another ‘top ten sexiest’ list for what must be an extremely hierarchically-minded readership, Cosmopolitan.com picked its favorite Olympic athletes. We can forgive them this one, though, because topping their list is our old friend Andrew Campbell (SFS ‘06) who joins nine other ridiculously sculpted athletes, including shoe-in Michael Phelps.

Campbell would make Vox Populi’s list, too, because he blogs. I wouldn’t mind subscribing to his feed, if you get my drift.
