University Scores High in the Sporting
News Review of Athletic
Programs
Ohio
University's intercollegiate
athletics
program is rated ninth in the nation for
fairness and 13th in graduation rates in
The Sporting News magazine's Sept.
8 review of the 112 institutions that
competed in Division I-A football and
Division I basketball in 1998.
Ohio
was ranked 48th overall in the review,
which considered four categories in the
analysis -- "Do we win?" "Do we graduate?"
"Do we rock?" "Do we play fair?"
Ohio's
ninth-place finish in "Do We Play Fair?"
category was based on how many teams each
school sponsors and the success of those
teams, the graduation rate for all
athletes and the extent to which schools
are complying with Title IX and NCAA
probation regulations.
