Title: NCAA Academic Progress Report
Post by: Sir Lawrence on May 02, 2007, 08:36:19 PM

The NCAA released its latest "Academic Progress Rates" yesterday, and Marquette's Mens BB team scored a 927, which means it's just over the number that the NCAA wants it to hit--a 925.  This study is for the last
three academic years (through 05-06). 

In a nutshell:

"Each scholarship player on each team generally can earn two APR points per semester for remaining at the school and academically eligible, and the NCAA has determined that teams should hit 92.5% of their possible total — an APR of 925 — or face the initial scholarship sanctions. A 925 roughly projects a 60% graduation rate."

By comparison, Cincinnati scored a 838, and will lose a scholarship for mens BB.  UW-Madison scored a 916.  ND scored a 977.  (Edit:  UWM scored a 916.   UW-Madison scored 931)

Here's Marquette's report:  http://web1.ncaa.org/app_data/apr2006/387_2006_apr.pdf

Our track teams, golf team, etc. were praised for high rates (golf 1000, women's volleyball 1000)

This is serious stuff, as I believe the crackdown will be stricter, and scholarships at stake--or what the NCAA calls "scholarship reduction."

and then drill down--I tried a direct link, but it's strangely long.

I think they scored higher than we did, at least for men's bb.

I guess those transfers REALLY hurt us...

The information in the post is wrong, UW-Madison had a 931.  It was UWM that had a 916, and no they aren't losing a scholarship.

Sorry again--very sloppy posting on my part  It's UWM, and they aren't losing a scholarship this year, but they could if they don't get their act together. 

The Journal Sentinel has an article about this whole APR thing in today's paper:

The headline:

UWM just passes NCAA test
Statistical adjustment helps prevent sanctions
