(CNN) – Should college basketball teams that don't graduate at least 40 percent of their players be banned from postseason play?
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan thinks so.
“Teams that fail to graduate 40 percent of their players should be ineligible for post-season competition. It's a low bar, frankly, and not many teams would be ineligible," said Duncan. "Over time, we should set a higher bar. But it's a minimum, a bright line, which every program should meet to vie for post-season honors.”
Duncan's proposal would keep a dozen teams from playing in this year's tournament, including top-seeded Kentucky.
On Thursday's American Morning, our Kate Bolduan will take a look at the issue.
