NCAA to release APR scores/ APR: What does it mean? (Merged)

On losing scholly's....

From what I've heard Jon Dever, Director of Athletic Academics, knew this was coming down and already has a plan in place for it. He's not expecting to lose any scholly's.

Would Alabama's APR improve significantly if transferees, early leavers, and those that had to quit football were removed from the equation?

 

[TerryP]

Everyone's would.

Just like the BCS getting tweaked, we'll see the APR get those tweaks for the next decade.

Tennessee

I can't find a link to the AP story, but today's Register reported that Tennessee's football team came in with an APR score of 854.

I haven't seen the score for Arkansas, or LSU, two programs with notoriously low football graduation rates.

New NCAA regs have coaches focused on academics

More than 400 sports teams at the nation’s Division I schools could lose scholarships next year under the NCAA’s new academic standards, according to a report released Monday.

Most of the scholarship losses, which would be for one year, were expected in football, baseball and men’s basketball.

Of the 5,270 Division I teams, about 410 risk penalties. About half of the nation’s 328 Division I schools have at least one team facing sanctions, according to the preliminary report.

Alabama football ranks low

For decades, Alabama football and Kentucky basketball have mirrored each other, dominating Southeastern Conference competition and ranking among the nation's elite programs.

Now, after the release of the national Academic Progress Rate figures by the NCAA on Monday, the two legendary programs have something else in common: Both need to hit the books.

Alabama's football APR score of 880 ranks in the 10th to 20th percentile nationally, meaning the Crimson Tide could lose a maximum nine scholarships if the numbers don't improve dramatically. The actual number lost will depend on how many individual football players both become academically ineligible and leave school.

The thought that keeps crossing my mind is..."does this mean the NCAA is an oversight body for academics?" So, that stance has changed since the Linda Bensel-Myers episode, Pt. 1?

An excellent point! I wonder if anyone could re-introduce that point held to this same line of thought!!!

Only BAMA

Why is BAMA the only school in either the ACC or SEC that is subject to losing schollys. What are we doing wrong???????????????

 

[Stephen323]

I could be dead wrong, but I would guess that a good bit of our problem is all of the instability in the program in the recent past. We have basically had a hodgepodge of players that were brought in by different coaching staffs. With instability, you are going to have more players not make the grade, and some who do will leave early because they are not happy with the new staff, etc.

Only Bama??

It's not only Bama..

 

[TerryP]

Overall, as a school we met it. The football program is the only program that missed, and it was beyond our control. Right now, 12 of 16 have graduated with 2 more this spring.

We are in a special circumstance, not unlike Baylor. (Very different circumstances, but same situations)
