POWER RANKING
The Collegiate Power Rankings are calculated for each school at the NCAA Division I, II and III levels by averaging the U.S. News & World Report ranking, the U.S. Sports Academy Directors' Cup ranking and the NCAA student-athlete graduation rate of each school. The U.S. Sports Academy Directors' Cup ranking evaluates the strength of NCAA athletic departments, while the U.S. News & World Report ranking recognizes institutions of academic excellence. The student-athlete graduation rates are based on those provided by the NCAA.
Three sport star junior Jeffery Welsh said to me "I know that the odds of ever playing sports professionally are one million to one but, I still want to get recruited to play sports and get the best college experience while doing so."
NCSA founder Chris Krause, a former Vanderbilt football player, created the organization's power rankings in 2002. His stated mission is to encourage high school student-athletes and their parents to take a comprehensive approach to choosing a school based on its overall merits.
