Women are smarter than men.

That's one possible conclusion you can draw from a study released Wednesday by the University of Central Florida's Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport.

The study, which examined the graduation rates for teams headed to the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournaments, shows that women's basketball players do far better academically than men's basketball players.

Ninety-five percent of the women's teams graduated half of their players. Only 64 percent of the men's teams did the same.

"I think part of the divergence is that women have always been told that to achieve success in a male-dominated world that they have to be better than men," said Richard Lapchick, the Institute's director and the study's principal author.
