Message: [QUOTE="Sonova, post: 2499840, member: 7513"] See CL82’s “answer” above. Our vulnerability was driven by a few factors: transfers, players leaving early for the draft and most importantly, the University not understanding how to effectively manage the APR (see UK as the poster child for this). This occurred in large part because it’s a BS measure of actual academic progress and thus, needed special attention to ensure that departing underclassmen left in “good standing.” The NCAA changed the rules retroactively in order to make an example of a major program (to show how much Mark Emmett “cares”) and that’s it in a nutshell. After that, EVERYONE realized that managing the APR was a requirement and it’s why it hasn’t happened again to any major school. It’s not that suddenly every student or program became more academically focused. And it’s certainly not that we recruit Ivy League caliber students. [/QUOTE]
