The 2012 Adjusted Graduation Gap Report for NCAA Division I men's and women's basketball, released Thursday by the College Sport Research Institute at the University of North Carolina, indicates the overall AGG between NCAA D-I men's basketball players and the general full-time male student body is once again sizable. And while the AGG for women is only half as large, the gap is roughly the same as last year and slightly larger than in 2010, the inaugural year of the study.

CSRI director Richard Southall developed the AGG to compare the graduation rates of athletes against those of other full-time students in the interest of painting a more accurate portrait of student-athlete academic advancement in the face of the NCAA's graduation success assessments, which factor in part-time members of the general student body.
