Some new APR info starting to trickle in

Kansas.com | 03/18/2008 | Grade woes cost KU 2 football scholarships
Kansas football has taken another hit on scholarships and will lose two more for the 2008 season for failure to meet NCAA academic standards.

According to figures released by the school Monday, KU football had a four-year academic progress rate of 919 and had two players leave the program during the 2006-07 school year who were not in good academic standing.

The combination of the two cost the Jayhawks their scholarships.

28 Football Programs, 70 Basketball Programs to Feel Wrath Of APR - FanHouse - AOL Sports Blog
if the new projections hold, and Brand cautions that they're highly tentative, some 70 men's basketball, 40 baseball and 28 football teams will be hit with penalties.

The sudden uptick in penalized programs comes with the NCAA's disposal of the "squad size adjustment" that kept many schools above a relaxed Mendoza line because of pesky statistical realities like "eight people is not a good sample size." The NCAA now has a full enough set of data to remove the SSA and start imposing penalties at the planned 925 cutoff.
...
HOWEVA(!), there are a number of major programs below the cutoff last year who were only spared because of the squad size adjustment: Texas A&M at 922, West Virginia at 924, Kansas at 918, South Carolina at 913, Oregon State at 913, Oregon at 912, South Florida at 910, and others. Since the APR is a four-year running average, those well behind the pack like South Florida are unlikely to make it above the cutoff this year. Others like Virginia Tech and Illinois were just above the cutoff and could fall below it if they have an attrition-laden year.

Just to keep the time frame straight, the new numbers that will be coming out will be based on the following academic years:

2003-2004
2004-2005
2005-2006
2006-2007

This is also the last time that 03-04 will be on the books. It rolls off next year. This won't really impact tOSU because your 03-04 numbers for football and bball were right around 925. Bball really wants those 04-05 (~896) and 05-06 (~884) years to roll off.

NCAA academic report card costs Akron football five scholarships

Posted by Associated Press and Plain Dealer staff May 06, 2008 13:45PM

INDIANAPOLIS -- College teams that consistently underperform in the classroom are getting hit harder by the NCAA.

Nearly 150 college teams face possible scholarship losses next season and 26 others are in danger of being banned from postseason play if they don't improve next year.


The NCAA's annual academic progress report was released this afternoon, and it showed more than 700 teams fell short of the mandated cut score.
But only 218 were penalized with warning letters, potential reductions in scholarships and practice time and warned they face possible postseason bans. Some were granted waivers by the governing body.

Thirty-six teams were assessed two penalties and three schools had more than one team make the list twice -- Alabama-Birmingham in men's basketball, football and men's golf; San Diego State in baseball and football; and San Jose State in baseball and men's basketball.

In Ohio, several teams were hit with scholarship penalties. The NCAA is requiring Akron to offer only 80 football scholarships instead of 85. Toledo will have to leave open six football scholarships.

No surprise to see a significant drop off and then Illinois, Minnesota, and Sparty below us, as each of these programs has brought in players that couldn't qualify at tOSU in the past few seasons.

I am surprised to see PSU that high. I figured with all the off-the-field issues, they'd be suffering in the classroom as well.

Only 9 points seperate 3-7 and we send a lot more kids to the NFL than those teams so I'm fine with that ranking.

No one is ever going to beat NU.

I thought I was starting to understand this whole APR thing. Then Ala-Birmingham goes and loses a golf scholarship.

What's up with that?

Did somebody leave early for the tour, or are they recruiting substandard students to get a leg up - in golf?
