25/75 Club
As a rallying point on the road to preeminence, Purdue athletics administrators coined the term "25/75 Club" to articulate a vision of an intercollegiate athletics organization that achieves an average finish in the top 25 across all sports and graduates 75 percent of its student-athletes. Precious few institutions achieve this lofty status. They are Duke, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Penn State and Stanford.
The Boilermakers are at the doorstep of the "25/75 Club." In 2007-08, Purdue finished 35th out of 300 Division I schools for the third straight year. Purdue presently graduate 72 percent of its student-athletes.
In 1994, Purdue ranked 81st in the Directors' Cup and had a 59 percent graduation rate.
