NCAA Academic Progress Report: 2008

From Hoopedia

The multi-year NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) data – with four years of data collection available for the first time – show upward trends in several categories, especially from 2005-06 to 2006-07. The overall APR, which measures student-athlete performance based on eligibility and retention, rose slightly, with increases in both eligibility and retention and a decrease in the number of student-athletes leaving school while academically ineligible.

Of the nineteen men's sports covered, basketball ranked dead last in APR scores. Among the eighteen women's programs included, basketball came in second-to-last, comfortably ahead of bowling.

NCAA Division I Basketball Programs Failing to Meet Academic Standards

Here is the list of schools and basketball teams that have posted two consecutive scores of less than 900 on the NCAA's 2007 and 2008 academic progress reports. A third consecutive score under 900 next year would ban the teams from postseason competition.
