I still don't understand how we can get penalized twice for the same transgression.
Yea its not entirely fair for the AP to report that Uconn will be kept out of the 2013 tournament without mentioning that the NCAA said they are looking into collecting the APR data more quickly, so that the scores will be known each February, instead of May.
Arnie, the AP article specifically states that the NCAA has specifically confirmed that the 2010-11 and 2011-12 years are the ones that will be considered. Those numbers would prevent UConn from participating in the tourney, and we know this right now.
Not much gray area or involved here, according to that article.
Don Amore tweeted that this will probably be changed at their next meeting(see UcCdaveD's post above).Arnie, the AP article specifically states that the NCAA has specifically confirmed that the 2010-11 and 2011-12 years are the ones that will be considered.

If the 2010-11 and 2011-12 years are the ones being considered, wouldn't that be beneficial to UConn? I heard it was the 2009-10 and 2010-11 scores that were being considered. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I belive UConn scored in the 970's last season. That would put is in a good position to exceed the 930 two year average requirement.
Forget anonymous sources. Wait until the official statement.Maybe I'm confusing years. But the important thing is that however you describe the years, it is the 826 and 975 scores that will be used, as confirmed by an NCAA source, meaning no NCAA tourney. If there were no definitive quote, I'd be less nervous. But someone at the NCAA was so confident of this that they specifically reported this to Yahoo and the AP.
This quote from the article has no wiggle room: "The NCAA confirmed Thursday that scores from those years [2010-11 and 2011-12, and NOT 2012-13] will be used to determine eligibility."
I was quoting an article on the realignment board at 11AM. By 11:30 the article was altered. You are not imagining things. That's why people should chill until this is all defined..I swear ESPN just changed the headline from WILL knock UConn out of the tournament to MAY knock UConn out of the tournament. I'm sure someone realized that the NCAA is looking into changing when scores are reported
You mean the rest of America. It was already done in SEC land.This is great for recruiting.
Plus, all over America, faculty are being told that they need to give these kids As.
