Latest APR = Perfect

One less administrative area of the program needing to worry about.

UConn athletic programs score high in latest APR figures

The UConn men’s basketball team posted a perfect 1,000 score in Academic Progress Rate data for the 2017-18 academic year, released Wednesday by the NCAA. The multiyear averages released cove…

Is APR still around? I thought they got rid of it after the UNC fiasco.

Thank you, Coach Hurley! Solid leadership is essential to a successful program.

You mean we've finally learned Louisville's "secret" method of calculating the APR???

APR is absurd. Punish schools who actually fail students who fail. Never made any sense.

The 2013 tournament ban because of APR was the most ridiculous thing in the history of UConn basketball. If we never got banned from the tournament that year, the APR would probably never be discussed or reported by the horde every year, and most of us would probably have no idea what it even is. We will never be in danger of getting a tournament ban because of APR ever again. The only thing that came out of that fiasco was that we learned how to game the system just like 99.8% of the other D1 schools.

Exactly correct. In one recent year, Alabama football had a better APR than Harvard basketball, no doubt for the reason you cited.

APR sticking around for a while as the NCAA is going to start paying schools that maintain an average of 985 across all sports.

Turning it into an even greater joke.

The NCAA doesn't get involved in academics until they do.

Literally. Who. Cares.

There really isn't even a system to game. There are like 2 criteria. You can just about report anything you like, and it is designed that way.

Never forget the PR in APR.

The MBB score is from 17 to 18. Its all Coach Ollie. I know 18 to 19 will not be perfect and the final score is TBD. The brass was worry. They had to call a player who was hanging in California back in case it was going to be a disaster

This score has nothing to do with Hurley

Not nothing, he's created a culture.

The APR is from 17-18

Got me

 

[navery12]

The APR is from 17-18

And he was coach from 18-19 so I give him credit for 500 of our 1000 APR

The 17-18 year= Ollie
18-19 year = Hurley

We will not have a perfect APR for this season thanks to Kwintin Williams which isn’t really Hurley’s fault anyways.

Much like this whole thread and the idea of APR, I'm joking. I'm not worried about Kwintin, we'll report a perfect APR the same as every other school

I prefer winning.

If he gets his degree it won't effect UConn's APR score in the future.

Williams is still at UConn and said he’ll walk during graduation ceremonies on May 11 with a degree in urban and community studies — though he may have to take another class or two over the summer.

“It was a tough semester, but I’m gonna finish up strong,” Williams promised.

From IG today:

UConnMBB account posts pic of Hurley with JAdams, Terrance Myth, Cobb, and in caps and gowns.

Williams posts a pic jumping.

Maybe he walks today?
