Football graduation rates steady
The graduation rate of Maryland's football program has held steady in figures released today.
The rate reported today by the NCAA is 68 percent. That covers the four entering freshmen classes from 1998-99 through 2001-02.
Last year's figures showed Maryland's rate at 69 percent. It was 64 percent the year before that.
The rate should not be confused with the academic progress rate, or APR, a current semester-by-semester snapshot of academic eligibility, graduation and retention. Schools can lose scholarships based on low APR scores.
