Currently, teams must earn a 930 four-year average APR or a 940 average over the most recent two years to participate in NCAA championships. In 2015-16 and beyond, teams must earn a four-year APR of 930 to compete in championships.

While the APR is intended as an incentive-based approach, it does come with a progression of penalties for teams that under-perform academically over time.

The first penalty level limits teams to 16 hours of practice per week over five days (as opposed to 20 over six days), with the lost four hours to be replaced with academic activities.

What a turd. Even in Frank Beamer's worst Va. Tech years, his consistently high APR saved his job multiple times. Same with Bill Snyder at Kansas State.

Blame for this figure points squarely at U of A football support staff.

Greg Byrne did finally respond to my Pac-12 Network complaint email requesting my contact number for discussion, believe it or not. So whoever I'll be talking to eventually, I'll be sure to include this unacceptable APR figure in the discussion.

“Overall, our multiyear APR number is healthy,” Byrne told the Star. “Last academic year, we had a combination of factors with a handful of student-athletes that led to a poor single-year APR number.

“We take this very seriously. For this current academic year, our fall numbers are significantly improved and in fact should be one of our better APR numbers on record. And the spring semester is heading in the same direction.”

Sucks, but bad APR years can happen. Basketball was at 906. If it becomes a trend then I'd worry.

The football multiyear APR is NOT healthy Mr. Byrne. It's the second lowest in the PAC, which is not acceptable.

Indoor practice field. Git her done!

Assume GB just spinning and projecting the MYAPR score as being healthy. The single year APR making big drops every year under RR. Then again, RR never has had a rep for maintaining an upward APR at Michigan or WV.

Ironically it's a partial Stoops last single APR year, and definitely many Stoops recruits helping the MYAPR average. But now the MYAPR average also beginning to drop now with more Stoops years not being calculated in the MYAPR average.

Anyway, RR still getting that $25k annual MYAPR bonus. So is GB (bonus). So no bonus worries for now. AZ could have a couple more years in last place in pac12 and below the 930 line APR and RR and GB can still get their bonuses and stay out of a NCAA penalty.

Been told this is not the last year but from a few years prior and things have already greatly improved for the football team

How's APR calculated?

[Merkin]

How's APR calculated?

The APR is calculated as follows:

Each student-athlete receiving athletically related financial aid earns one point for staying in school and one point for being academically eligible.
A team’s total points are divided by points possible and then multiplied by 1,000 to equal the team’s Academic Progress Rate.
In addition to a team’s current-year APR, its rolling four-year APR is also used to determine accountability.

Basketball team was at 1000, but dropped this year.
