Riverfront Times: Black Mizzou Hoopsters Graduate Far Less Often Than Their White Counterparts
According to a study of 64 teams in the men’sNCAA Division I Tournament, Mizzou’s black basketball players show a 25 percent graduation rate. For white Mizzou players — a pretty rare breed in the last ten years — the rate was 100 percent.
Between this and all the racial discrimination at Mizzou I’m not really sure why a black athlete would want to play there. Is it really worth it to put up with the constant racial tension if the school isn’t even trying to graduate you?
