YSU Penguin Athletics / YSU's Academic Progress Rate (APR)
« on: June 07, 2015, 11:03:46 PM »
It is my understanding that the NCAA requires an APR of 930 to avoid a post-season ban, as occurred with UWM MBB. It is my understanding that the Horizon league had two programs with multiyear APRs below the 930 threshold, and both of them are at YSU: Men's Indoor track(916), Men's Outdoor track (916).
UIC was at 926 last year, but had a multiyear APR above 930.
The HL had four teams in the "danger zone" from 930-939, and one of those four is YSU Men's Cross Country.
It seems like there is reason for concern, if this information is correct.
