The ABCs of APR
APR defined: APR stands for academic progress rate, which the NCAA has made its primary measuring stick for success in the classroom. Unlike graduation rates, which have a six-year lag time, the APR is a real-time snapshot.
Calculating the APR: For each semester, schools get one point for an athlete in good academic standing and one point for keeping that athlete in school. If a men's basketball team has 13 scholarship players, that's a possible 52 points. If the team has two players who leave and weren't academically eligible to continue, that's a loss of four points. Divide the team's points (48) by its possible total (52), and you get 0.923, which will be expressed as an APR of 923.
The score to beat is 925: The magic number is 925. It's kind of like an SAT score in that you may not understand how it's figured, but everyone will soon know a good one from a bad one. Teams that score below 925 could be subject to penalties beginning next year. A school that hits 925 for five years should graduate 50 percent of its athletes.
Meet the '0-fer,' the program killer: Someone who leaves the team without being in good academic standing goes '0 for 2' on the APR — that is, the athlete failed to earn the point for eligibility and the point for retention. If the team's APR is below 925, the school could be prohibited from awarding a scholarship to replace the departing '0-fer.'
Cap on penalties: No team can lose more than 10 percent of its scholarships. But the NCAA will give heavier punishments, including postseason bans, for teams with continual problems.
I think we only failed Baseball. Sorry about the non-spacing, but it won't separate them on this board.
