UConn's APR update front page news on.....

[aceboon]

Just a thought here, and I know this is crazy, but maybe there's something unique about UConn and the APR that makes their score more noteworthy than, say, Kansas or Duke. What could that possibly be? Could it be that UConn was very publicly banned from the NCAA tournament because of their APR score? Nah, that can't be it.

Did superjohn actually read that article and wonder why there wasn't a similar article about Michigan State's APR? I bet he did.

I see your point, but how many years is it gonna take for this story to no longer be run nationally? When UConn's APR score has been released its been a front page story for 3 years now, I think we can move on at this point.

Right, I'll buy that after ESPN starts writing annual articles about Duke and Corey Maggette or constant reminders about Calipari having 2 duck*ing Final Fours vacated at 2 different schools. There is clearly a group that is protected from over criticism and there's a group where this excessive criticism seems to sell ad space and generate page views, and we fall in the latter.

Ok agreed we need to qualify but this APR stuff doesn't excite me because we all know it's such NCAA BS - to pretend their is an academic component to what makes the money - SEC football.
Didn't Bama football have a higher APR than Harvard basketball or football?
