Study: Graduation rates between blacks, whites widening - USATODAY.com: The disparity between graduation rates for white and black players at schools headed to bowl games grew again this year even as overall academic progress increased for both, a study released Monday found.
The annual report by the University of Central Florida's Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport found that the graduation success rate is increasing at a higher rate for white players than black players.
Richard Lapchick, the primary author of the study, said it's a 'disturbing' gap that has continued to widen.
