Arne Duncan: No March Madness for NCAA teams with poor graduation rates

Arne Duncan: No March Madness for NCAA teams with poor graduation rates MLive.com
"Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim told USA Today that Duncan's proposal is “completely nuts.”
He told the paper that because basketball teams have small rosters, it takes only two or three players to bring a team below the cutoff.
“Any good school can have a bad class and fall below,” Boeheim said.
“It's a lot more difficult than it looks.
What looks to be simple on paper isn't as simple as it looks.
If three guys leave (school) and your other seven guys are 'A' students, that still puts you below.
It's hard to recover from that.”"
