A new phenomenon has swept the country. I'm not referring to planking, a silly and pointless move which seemed to intrigue everyone for no apparent reason. What I am referring to is very dear to many in Gainesville, Fla., and Denver, Colo. It's called "Tebowing."

Dartmouth placed third in the NCAA's 2011 report on student-athlete graduation rates, graduating 99 percent of athletes who entered the College in 2004. Barnard College and Brown University top the list with 100 percent success rates. The national graduation rate for college athletes is 82 percent the highest rate since the NCAA began keeping records over a decade ago, Bloomberg News reported. Because the NCAA graduation rate counts transfer students and midyear enrollees who graduate while the federal rate records these students as dropouts, the NCAA rate is higher than the federal graduation rate, according to Bloomberg. Improved academic success has been one of the NCAA's main goals in recent years, and the governing body recently adopted a rule that would essentially require teams to graduate at least 50 percent of their members in order to participate in NCAA postseason tournaments, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported. If this rule had been in place last year, the University of Connecticut men's basketball team would have been ineligible to compete in the postseason basketball tournament that it went on to win. Female student-athletes had an 88 percent graduation rate over the past four years, while men had a 73 percent rate, according to the report. The findings highlight football and men's basketball as the sports with the lowest graduation figures, with rates just under 70 percent.
