Idk man, I feel like college kids being in good standing academically while maintaining high level D1 commitments is something that should be celebrated. But that's just meWho cares? Seriously?
The B10! This was the missing piece to an invite!Who cares? Seriously?
Outside of UConn fans nobody cares or even remembers.I'm worried that as time goes on fewer people will remember how utterly insane our 2013 postseason ban was. It'll just be "UConn was banned for low APR scores." The entire retroactive rule change that made it impossible to comply will be forgotten.
And the fact that it worked out fine for us the year after doesn't make it ok.

I kind of remember it was the president of UHart that was sticking it up our butts, right?I'm worried that as time goes on fewer people will remember how utterly insane our 2013 postseason ban was.

I think his point is that APR scores have little correlation with academic standing.Idk man, I feel like college kids being in good standing academically while maintaining high level D1 commitments is something that should be celebrated. But that's just me

APR is a great acronym.We'll get a perfect APR next year, and we had players who didn't attend a class for 5+ months during our championship season. Schools have learned how to play the APR game.
We had a trifecta of arbitrary and inequitable application of NCAA rules that year:I'm worried that as time goes on fewer people will remember how utterly insane our 2013 postseason ban was.

Just you is impressed with meeting an arbitrary standard that proves nothing? And you want to celebrate a student with every academic advantage not flunking out? Talk about soft bigotry...Idk man, I feel like college kids being in good standing academically while maintaining high level D1 commitments is something that should be celebrated. But that's just me
Bottom line for me is celebrating this nonsense gives it credibility. It should forever be mocked.
One can mock it as a test -- as you said, it should be mocked -- and still be pleased that the program has figured out how to play the game.Just you is impressed with meeting an arbitrary standard that proves nothing?

Geez, that was 3 coaches ago. You still think that's worth a cookie?One can mock it as a test -- as you said, it should be mocked -- and still be pleased that the program has figured out how to play the game.
Fine, as long as we never lose sight of how utterly phony it all is.One can mock it as a test -- as you said, it should be mocked -- and still be pleased that the program has figured out how to play the game.
Yeah right.The B10! This was the missing piece to an invite!
