congratulations to the tar heels

inside higher ed's annual academic performance tournament breaks down the ncaa men’s basketball bracket, determining winners on the basis of the ncaa's academic progress rate.* i'm sour the minnversity was one-and-done, but texas is a tough draw on the court and in the classroom. *To select the winners, we used the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate -- a nationally comparable score that gives points to teams whose athletes stay in good standing academically and stay enrolled from semester to semester. (Last year, the NCAA began using the scores to impose penalties on teams that underperform academically.) In instances where matched-up teams had the same Academic Progress Rate, we broke ties using the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate -- which, unlike the federal graduation rate, considers transfers and subtracts athletes who leave college prior to graduation “as long as they would have been academically eligible to compete had they remained.”
