NCAA Student-Athlete Survey

NCAA GOALS Survery

The NCAA Convention is going on this week in San Antonio.  There is lots of news that is constantly coming from the convention that is interesting to me, and I thought this article might be interesting to the coaches.  It is a summary of the NCAA GOALS survey, which has now been conducted twice.  It collects information from actual student-athlete's from across all three divisions.  They are asked questions about the recruiting process, how they chose their school, their academic goals and graduation rates as well as their time demands as student-athletes. 

The link is not the actual survey results, rather a summary of the results written by NCAA staff.  The article does an excellent job highlighting some of the more interesting points of the study.
