"[There is a]...preponderance of evidence that has been accumulated over the years which documents the strong and positive correlation between athletic involvement and the academic success of student-athletes." (Hartmann, pg. 2) teamplayers.org/why-athletes

"In a recent econometric analysis...Lipscomb (2006) found that high school sports participation resulted in a two percent (2%) increase in standardized math and science test scores on a national survey sample..." (Hartmann, pg. 10) teamplayers.org/why-athletes

"...student-athletes [are] five percent (5%) more likely to aspire to college attendance than their non-athletic peers (a number that double[s] to 10% if sports participation [is] paired with some other form or forms of extracurricular participation)." (Lipscomb 2006) (Hartmann, pg. 10) teamplayers.org/why-athletes

"the positive academic effects of sports appear...to be stronger for girls (Crosnoe 2001; Hanson and Krauss 1998; Sabo, Melnick, and Vanfossen 1993;), which is especially notable because girls tend to perform better academically than boys to begin with." (Hartmann, pg. 21-2) teamplayers.org/why-athletes

"NCAA's long term studies show that nearly 9 of 10 student-athletes earn a bachelors degree and 3 of 10 earn a graduate degree before the age of 30." (Dr. Tom Paskus, Principal Research Scientist, NCAA)

"NCAA student-athletes graduate at a higher rate than their counterparts in the general student body." (Bill Regan, Director for Academic and Membership Affairs, NCAA)
