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.
