2015美国大学篮球联赛：把学业成绩考虑在内
美国大学一般都有自己的篮球代表队，各个大学之间也会定期举办规模宏大的篮球联赛。根据美国教育部最新声明，在篮球联赛中除实际比分外，也会把学业成绩考虑在内。具体情况请看下文!
Education Secretary Arne Duncan is a serious basketball player – co-captaining the Harvard varsity team and playing professionally, mostly in Australia — so it’s no surprise the department he leads likes to put a spotlight on academic performance among sports teams. The Education Department published on its Homeroom blog a piece titled “A Different Approach to NCAA Bracketology,” which looks at which schools would come out on top if academic performance were considered for both men and women in the March Madness tournaments.
美国教育部秘书长Arne Duncan也是一个出色的篮球运动员，他在澳大利亚打职业篮球，同时是哈佛篮球队队长，所以他所领导的教育部就非常注重运动与学业成绩之间的联系。教育部在官方博客“Homeroom”上发表了一篇名为“A Different Approach to NCAA Bracketology”的文章，表明学业成绩好的学校在三月份的篮球联赛中更有可能排名前列。
The information used by the department comes from a new report by the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida called “Keeping Score When It Counts: Academic Progress/Graduation Success Rate Study of 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament Teams.” The department said it built its brackets based on the team’s Academic Progress Rate as reported by the NCAA, and in cases of a tie, by first the Graduation Success Rate of their basketball team and then the overall Graduation Success Rates of their student-athletes.
教育部的做法是参考了佛罗里达中心大学的一项新报告：“在篮球联赛中考虑学业成绩进步率和毕业率”，此报告指明，若在比赛中出现比分持平的现象，那么学业成绩进步率和毕业率更高的学校就能领先。
The Academic Progress Rate is a Division I metric developed to track the academic achievement of teams each academic term. Each student-athlete receiving athletically related financial aid earns one retention point for staying in school and one eligibility point for being academically eligible. A team’s total points are divided by points possible and then multiplied by one thousand to equal the team’s Academic Progress Rate score.
学业进步率通过记录每队在每学年学业成绩状况而反映各自的学业水平。每个学生运动员都能得到财政援助，前提是他们还在学校学习，若成绩优异者所得奖学金就越多。一个篮球队的总分除比赛得分外，还有该队学业成绩的综合分。
