My bracket is over. I’ll admit that projecting USC into the Final Four was a bit of a stretch, but who’d have thought that neither UNC or UCLA would make an appearance in the title game! Who would have thought that I would have found an even more interesting bracket to ponder.

The above bracket is an LA Times projection of the NCAA Men’s Division I basketball championship if winners were based on graduation rates of the men’s basketball players. The perennial athletic contenders fare quite differently when compared academically. Kansas – 40%, Memphis – 30%, UCLA – 29%…the list goes on.

I’m sure that none of these non-graduating men were recruited out of the amazingly academic LAUSD schools!
