The University of Nebraska is the Big 12 Conference leader in exhausted eligibility rates for the fourth consecutive year, according to federal graduation rates released by the NCAA on Thursday.
Nebraska boasts an impressive exhausted eligibility rate of 94 percent, a percentage point higher than last year’s Big 12-leading rate of 93 percent. The exhausted eligibility rate surveys the graduation rate of scholarship student-athletes in 10 incoming freshman classes who complete their eligibility at that university. Nebraska’s exhausted eligibility rate has increased from 87 to 94 percent in the past six years and improved 22 percentage points since the inception of the exhausted eligibility rate in 1991-92.
The current exhausted eligibility rate includes members of incoming classes from 1990-91 through 1999-2000. During that time period 424 of 453 Nebraska scholarship student-athletes who completed their eligibility earned their undergraduate degree.
Nebraska’s 94 percent exhausted eligibility rate ranks three percentage points higher than Baylor who ranks second in the Big 12 Conference at 91 percent.
