The sports high holiday known as March Madness returns tomorrow. But the NCAA college basketball tournament is more than friendly competition—it rivals the Super Bowl as the most-wagered upon athletic event, as brackets fan out across every office, school and website in America.

With thought we might look at the tournament bracket with a more academic bent. With all the concentration on the court, we thought we'd examine how the 68 teams in the tournament fare academically. To find out which schools are faltering, The Daily Beast considered all 68 college teams in this year’s March Madness according to their graduation success rate (GSR), Academic Progress Rate (APR) for both the most recent year available as well as the multi-year, four-year average score, and the head coach’s career APR. All four metrics, calculated and provided by the NCAA, were weighted equally.

The Academic Progress Rate is a metric, measured out of 1,000, of academic eligibility (grades) and retention for student athletes that's designed to predict ultimate graduation rates. The NCAA graduation success rate is a measure of graduation, which differs from the federal measure by allowing schools to count students who transfer in as well as students who left with eligibility. GSR is only calculated for the students on scholarship. (For this reason, Princeton has no available GSR because it does not offer athletic scholarships. The Daily Beast projected a score based on its Academic Progress Rate scores for the purpose of its ranking on this list. Similar projections were made for teams who had new coaches without a track record.)

While the NCAA penalizes a team if players don’t perform in the classroom (or if they leave school altogether), it’s far from a faultless system. There’s little incentive for students to stay in school should the promise of pro ball come calling—their school will be punished only once they have left the campus. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan argued last year that any team unable to graduate at least 40 percent of their players should be barred from participation in March Madness, though the suggestion didn’t gain traction.. If it had, Temple, the University of Connecticut and the University of Arizona would be benched, among others. To see how your favorite ranks, see below.
