antizip Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 It has been said; bad press is better than no press. Winning isn't all academic for Division I schools Looming is the potential loss of scholarships, a penalty that won't be applied until next fall. Rates released Monday are from the 2003-04 school year and will be folded into a two-year average. Teams then deemed deficient will be barred from replacing a scholarship player who leaves while academically ineligible. The initial APRs are a warning shot and public relations blow. "The point of this," said Hartford President Walter Harrison, who heads the NCAA's Committee on Academic Performance, "is to change behavior ... to send a signal to presidents and to athletic directors and coaches that you are headed in the wrong direction and that you should use these — warnings this year and then the penalties — as motivation to change what you're doing so that you can improve." An academic rate was compiled for every team at every Division I school, a total of 5,720, tracking whether scholarship athletes a) remain at the school, and stay academically eligible and ultimately graduate. Points are awarded, player by player, and the NCAA has determined that teams should hit 92.5% of their possible total — an APR of 925. The NCAA says that projects a 50% graduation rate. Warned NCAA vice president Kevin Lennon, "If you live around the border, the ... penalties will catch up with you.

antizip Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 update National Average: 923 1. Miami: 983 2. Ball State: 981 3. Toledo: 979 4. Western Michigan: 950 5. Bowling Green: 942 6. Ohio: 941 7. [screw 'em]: 925 8. Buffalo: 885* 8. Can't State: 885* 10. Eastern Michigan: 865 11. Akron: 860 12. Central Michigan: 840 13. Northern Illinois: 839 Asterisks indicate the fact that the NCAA believes larger data samples (i.e., more academic years considered than just the previous one) will cause Buffalo and Can't State to meet or exceed the 925 cutoff. _________________ Trying to show the whole picture.
