CHICAGO -- All eight Ivy League schools were ranked among the top 13 NCAA Division I institutions in the 10th Annual NCSA Collegiate Power Rankings.
Harvard led the way for the Ivies ranked fourth followed by
Princeton (t-6th), Columbia (t-6th), Yale (8th), Dartmouth (9th),
Penn (t-11th), Brown (t-11th) and Cornell (13th).
NCSA Athletic Recruiting's Collegiate 2012 Power Rankings assess
the academic and athletics standards of all NCAA athletic programs
across the country. The Power Rankings were developed to help
prospective student athletes and their families evaluate the
particular strengths of the top colleges and universities at the
Division I, II and III levels.
"The Power Rankings are an objective tool to empower student
athletes to find the right fit in a college or university, not only
for its athletics, but academics as well," says Lisa
Strasman, COO and President of NCSA Athletic Recruiting.
"Our hope is to educate these student athletes and their parents on
the importance of evaluating schools that will provide the
education for an enriched, successful career after college, in
addition to athletic success."
The Collegiate Power Rankings from NCSA Athletic Recruiting are
calculated for each Division I, II and III college and university
by averaging student-athlete graduation rates, academic rankings
provided by U.S. News & World Report, and the strength of
athletic departments as determined by the Learfield Sports
Directors' Cup.
These Power Rankings are only one example of NCSA Athletic
Recruiting's commitment to redefining collegiate recruiting.
As the leading athletic recruiting network, NCSA connects more than
42,000 college coaches with student-athletes who hope to pursue
both higher education and the chance to compete in athletics at the
college level.
