COURANT SPORTS ALERT: APR out on Wed., UConn expected to show major upgrade with score of 978

COURANT SPORTS ALERT: UConn, banned for 2 additional years because Mark Emmert feels like it!!

In all seriousness, this is wonderful news I'm glad the University figured a way to fix its score and scam the system like 99% of the other univeristies playing Division 1 basketball. The aPR will be gone once a few more programs are banned, as more and more folks will educate themselves on the idiocy of it and public support will be elimated eventually.

This is not actual "news". We've known that our 2011 score was 978 for quite a long time now. We basically already know that our 2012 score will also be in the 978 range. What's disturbing is the fact that it takes the NCAA until June of 2012 to release the scores for the school year that ended a full year ago.

Good for Lamb for completely the year in good standing.

well with some 300 schools and 13 players per team, that's like 13 scores a day for them to go through. that's a little much to ask isn't it? /s

This is the 2011 team's score that is being released.

Well I suppose they could start with the programs that they are denying post season play first. Let's see that would be, well us, wouldn't it? Work your way through rest once you've finished with the team that you intend to penalize. That isn't too much to ask is it?

Ummmm....have you heard of this little productivity device called a COMPUTER? I'm sure it's all submitted online.

I'm pretty sure the "/s" in his post denoted "sarcasm", but yes, that is the implication. A trained monkey with Excel could do this in an afternoon.

Does that change the fact that this line is in the article "Jeremy Lamb, who is departing for the NBA, completed the spring semester in good academic standing"

It should be congratulated.

What I don't understand is why the NCAA pretends that it's important for players to finish out the semester when they are declaring for the draft. It's like when you're already into college during your senior year of high school. Most people shut it down.

Anyway, good for Lamb.

I can just see all the threads on other forums about how now we must be cheating to bring the APR scores back up so quickly.

Actually, I do get this. Otherwise a Freshman could play all year and never be a student. If you are going to play, you need to finish up the year as a student. Glad Jeremy did the right thing for himself and the school.

Glad to see Gavin Edwards is back on campus. A couple years late but better than nothing.

Ah, I totally missed that! Went right over my head!

I agree they should be forced to complete their coursework before, and during the season, if they want to mantain eligiblity. I just think it should be up to the player to decide whether he wants to finish up his classwork after he either decides to transfer, or declares for the draft. In other words, I think the APR is useless.

But, c'mon. It's the trained monkeys that would have to train the folks at the NCAA. And they've never heard of Excel, in fact, I have it on good authority that they are still using Lotus 1-2-3
