CHICAGO - The National Collegiate Scouting Association announced its third annual Collegiate Power Rankings on Monday. Harding University ranked 14th on the list of the top academic and athletic college/universities in the country at the NCAA Division II level.
UC-Santa Barbara tops the Division II list with Stonehill College, Truman State University, Drury University and Bentley College rounding out the top five.
The National Collegiate Scouting Association matches college coaches with the right student-athletes by building lasting relationships with college coaches and empowering student-athletes to achieve the best education possible.
The NCSA Collegiate Power Rankings provide data that allows prospective student-athletes and parents to evaluate the particular strengths of universities based on academic and athletic factors, as well as student-athlete graduation rates.
NCSA's power rankings are calculated for each school by averaging the US News & World Report ranking, the US Sports Academy Director's Cup rank and the student-athlete graduation rate of each school. The US Sports Academy Director's Cup ranking evaluates the strengths of NCAA Athletic departments, while the US News & World Report ranking recognizes institutions of academic excellence. The student-athlete graduation rates are based on those provided by the NCAA.
Harding ranked 22nd in the US News & World Report ranking, 26th in the final NCAA Division II Directors' Cup ranking, and 15th in Division II student-athlete graduation rates.
NCSA was founded in April of 2000 by Chris Krause, a former full scholarship football player at Vanderbilt University.
