Maryland Grad Rates Released

Graduation rates

One of the commenters at that Sun article cited the FSU, Clemson, and NCSU grad rates for bball, which were all significantly higher than UMD’s. Does anyone know the grad rate of any actually good ACC basketball programs, like uh, UNC and Dook?

Wrestling

UMd had its program’s biggest dual meet win in history when they took out #3 Cornell on the road last night. Check the FanShots for the link to the weight class results.
