APR and Football?

Does football have the same requirements as basketball.

different ball game

simple answer is yes. But with more players, there is far more room for error. 2 guys flunking out or transfering doesn't mess up your numbers like it would in basketball. On th eother hand, I believe under Edsall at least our APR and grad ratres were very good.

The way that some SEC teams blow thru kids(30 kids a year)you would think that they would have alot of kids(no renewal of scholarships)that leave in bad standing.
Surprised that there are no big time football schools getting nailed with this also.

Let's be honest, the NCAA has little control over CFB.

aPR problems should be more pronounced for football since football doesn't have one and doners. I bet we'll see this in the future. In basketball, you get waivers for kids turning pro, and you can push kids into faux classes. In football, kids stay on for much longer, and schools will get dinged with aPR precisely because, one, the classes will be more difficult in those advanced years, and two, the aPR is calculated after every semester. It's likely that players who are in danger do not complete the fall semester, so instead of a player scoring a 3/3 for his school (like the one and doners), a football player who doesn't complete his fall classes get a 1/4 (if they've gone pro).

These are Kentucky football's scores:

Football University of Kentucky KY 2004 - 2005 940
Football University of Kentucky KY 2005 - 2006 946
Football University of Kentucky KY 2006 - 2007 943
Football University of Kentucky KY 2007 - 2008 948
Football University of Kentucky KY 2008 - 2009 951
Football University of Kentucky KY 2009 - 2010 948

They are below Kentucky's basketball scores AND they show very little deviation, which is eye-popping and suspicious. UConn's football scores, for instance, deviated by 25 points from year to year. And they were higher than Kentucky's.
