Corrections

A graphic appearing in NCAA News Digest in the August 28 issue of The NCAA News erroneously identified men’s outdoor track as posting a 15.7 percent gain in the number of participating student-athletes from 1995-96 to 2004-05. The gain actually was posted in women’s outdoor track. The graphic correctly reported that participation in men’s outdoor track decreased 1.2 percent during that period. The corrected graphic is available via NCAA Online.
