Guest coachacola Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 From a USA Today article: The programs posted subpar Academic Progress Rates (APRs), which have been computed by the NCAA for the past four years and hinge on retaining players and keeping them academically eligible. Twenty-six teams — including 20 in the longtime problem sports of men's basketball, football and baseball — were flagged as chronic underperformers and handed stiffer penalties including reductions in practice time. Fail to show improvement in the next year, and they'll face postseason bans under a program that's the first to tie such penalties to academic performance. The total of 218 affected teams, spread among 123 Division I schools, is lower than anticipated as recently as late last year, when the NCAA was projecting hundreds more in the wake of a scheduled tightening of its standards. No longer does the association build in a margin for error that initially allowed many lower-scoring teams to avoid sanctions.
