President Obama’s NCAA Bracket

CHAMPIONS!
Last week we predicted Butler University would win the tournament, on the basis of our academic performance bracket. The team has a perfect 1000 academic progress rate, which is a measure of the team’s performance in keeping athletes in good academic standing and on track for graduation, calculated by the NCAA. (If athletes leave, say for the NBA, it doesn’t hurt the school’s score as long as they’re in good standing when they leave.) The NCAA takes the APR score seriously enough that if a team maintains an average below 925 — the score that corresponds to roughly a 50 percent graduation rate — over several years it faces sanctions like reductions in playing time and losing scholarship slots.
(…)
The University of Connecticut men’s basketball team, on the other hand, has an academic progress rate of just 930. While Connecticut has managed to squeak by with a barely sufficient multiyear average, that number masks the team’s score for just 2008-2009: an abysmal 844.
The other two Final Four teams, Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Kentucky, have middling APRs of 975 and 954. The tournament average overall is 957.
