Board Looks to APR Penalties
This is an interesting article discussing how the Division I Board of Directors will be examining the current structure of the APR program and the associated penalties. APR has been around for almost a decade now and there have been several minor changes introduced along the way, including relief from losing points for students who transfer or turn professional; if they meet certain academic criteria. Given these changes have effected what scores mean, it appears the Board wants to examine if the penalties for low APR's are still in the right places. Currently a team can be subject to contemporaneous penalties for having a few low single year APR scores or be subject or more serious historical penalties if their multi-year APR drops below the magic number of 925. These appear to be some interesting suggestions and it will be interesting to see how membership responds to any proposals that may come out in the fall or next year.
