While I was sifting through the myriad of stories chronicling the near upset of Belmont over Duke last night, I think I found the only NCAA bracket in the world that had Belmont in the title game. Inside Higher Ed produces a tournament bracket based on graduation rates based instead of three-point shots. Only a handful of the top basketball programs in the country make it to the Sweet Sixteen on the academic bracket, which is saddening, although not unexpected. If you happened to have filled out a bracket similar to the one by Inside Higher Ed, you should be congratulated on picking some fine academic institutions. However, you will probably come in last in your office pool.
