Penn notches 6th in athletics-academics power rankings

 

The NCSA, an athletic recruiting network, unveiled its collegiate power rankings for the top 100 schools factoring in athletics and academics, and Penn placed sixth in 2011.

Princeton was the only Ivy to finish higher (4th), and Duke, Stanford and Notre Dame rounded out the top three. Penn moved up two spots this year, as three other Ivies, Harvard, Yale and Cornell, all dropped behind the Quakers.

The rankings use an average of the Learfield Sports Director's Cup rankings, the school's student-athlete graduation rate and the U.S. News and World Report academic rankings to rate the schools.

Ivy League Director Robin Harris tweeted a note of congratulations to the eight member schools, noting they all placed within the top 21. Those top 21 with the rankings breakdown are listed below:
