So he returned to the University to finish his degree in applied behavioral science in 2005, meanwhile landing a job with Kansas Football as an assistant strength and conditioning coach. The University has since developed a program that welcomes former student-athletes to come back by providing financial aid to finish their degrees.
"I have a degree, so I have a job, some stability," Vaughn said. "When you get a scholarship, you're getting some stability."
He doesn't think paying athletes in college gives them that stability. He said if you start paying them above what they're already getting, they're just going to start wanting more.
MAKING THE GRADE
"Kids always want more," he said.
Using an equation they call the Academic Progress Rate (APR), the NCAA measures academic success, graduation rates and rates of retention (whether students-athletes are eligible semester after semester). If a university reaches a 925 APR, it approximates that they are graduating, or are on track to graduate, at least 50 percent of their student athletes
The NCAA is trying to stress the importance of earning a degree by measuring progress at each of its universities.
If a university falls below 925, they are subject to sanctions by the
NCAA. The APR doesn't include one-and-done athletes or athletes who transfer to another university in good academic standing.
This year, the Knight Commission proposed strict penalties for schools that do not graduate 50 percent of their athletes: a ban from postseason play. Their mission has received backing from Arne Duncan, the U.S. Secretary of Education.
More startling to Duncan and the Knight Commission, $179 million, or 44 percent, of the $409 million the NCAA awarded teams for success in the past five tournaments was earned by teams graduating fewer than half of their players.
The commission released its proposal before this year's NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, based on the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports' investigation into each of the 68 teams playing in the tournament. Using the APR numbers for each of the 68 teams, the institute said 10 would have been ineligible for the tournament under the benchmark recommended by the Knight Commission and backed by Duncan, including Alabama State, Kansas State, Purdue, San Diego State, and Missouri.
"We need a more sensible balance of athletic and academic priorities," Duncan said about the Knight Commission's graduation proposal.
Kansas basketball recorded an APR of 1000 based on KU's 67 percent graduation rates for African-American players and a 100 percent
The discrepancy between black and white graduation rates was common among most of the schools in the 2011 tournament. Kansas State, among the worst, has a graduation rate of 100 percent for white basketball players, and only 14 percent for black players. Butler, which advanced to the championship game, is graduating 83 percent of all basketball players, but only 50 percent of black athletes.
He said it doesn't matter if the school was rich or poor, black or white, rural or urban. It is the coaching, the leadership, that is instrumental in teaching young athletes values that will benefit their lives beyond the basketball court, he said.
The lower graduation rate for black athletes concerns Ben Jealous, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
"The only thing these schools have in common, when you look at the schools that are failing, is a lack of leadership from the coach," jealous said.
"It is incomprehensible why we let these things continue," Education Secretary Duncan concluded after seeing the report.
graduation rate for white players. The total graduation rate for all student-athletes on scholarship at Kansas was 77 percent according to the institute's report.
