Men havenât a clue about why they prefer certain body shapes or why their brains light up when they see narrow waists and well-rounded hips and thighs. But the preferences encoded in their genes by millennia of evolution help reveal what it is about womenâs bodies that foretells success in having children.
All states and the District of Columbia have reported ACGR rates. Based on those state-reported data, the U.S. Department of Education indicates that the nationâs graduation rate reached an all-time high, 82 percent for the class of 2014. Thatâs an increase of 1 percentage point over the prior year.
The GSR also excludes athletes who leave in good academic standing and transfer to another school, therefore not counting them as non-graduates. The federal rate this year was 66 percent, which fell short of the GSRâs 84 percent but is still the highest federal graduation rate ever recorded for college athletes. Similar discrepancies can be found at many individual NCAA institutions, though for some programs that difference is more of a chasm.
