True, but only if you consider a 2.5 GPA "bad." You lose a point for a transfer unless he meets a number of standards, one of them being a 2.6 GPA.
Pres. Hetbst: UConn's APR for this year going to be in the high 900's

If UConn is docked 1 point for 2o12 its cool come the 2013 tourney.
2 points and its dicey. A smidgen under 900 for the rolling score by my count. They might let UConn slide with a waiver in 2013 with a 2 point knock
3 pts and and that's skirting the 930 line for the year which isn't enough to raise UConn's rolling average as close to 900 as we would like. I'd guess 3 pts and UConn is made an example of.
So there you go.
2012 deductions:
1 point good
2 points - pray for mercy. Or a waiver.
3 points bad. Very bad.

Graduation rates (GSR formula) for D1 men's basketball have gone from 56% to 68% since the NCAA started tracking graduation rates and then added the APR. Also significant improvements for African-American basketball players.

Thanks for the cite.
From what I read there, by the NCAA's own admission, it's hard to link the APR as having any effect on the graduation rate, considering grad rates were already trending upward prior to the APR's existence. Grad rates had been trending upward prior to the 10 year scope of this article as well. Its interesting to note that in college football, graduation rates have actually plateaued despite the existence of the APR, so what does that say about the APR as an incentive to graduate players again?
