This is mostly a direct result of all the transfers during the Lickliter era. Here is how APR is calculated.

The APR is calculated by allocating points for eligibility and retention -- the two factors that research identifies as the best indicators of graduation. Each player on a given roster earns a maximum of two points per term, one for being academically eligible and one for staying with the institution.

Iowa's score should increase some next year, but the Payne transfer will impact it. Tucker was a double whammy as he was ineligible then transferred a couple of years ago. He should fall off the calculation in the next two years.

Thank you for injecting some intelligence into this thread.

UConn just got hit with the loss of two more scholarships for academic performance. Expect Kentucky to have the same very soon as they have had so many players leave early. There are others that have had issues of late like Kansas that may come in lower in the next couple of seasons with the players that have been kicked off and left early for the NBA.

At one time there was a six year rule, meaning the player had six years to graduate and count as a positive for the school, does that still exist?

I don't think a guy leaving early for the NBA does not affect the school's APR as much as a transfer, unless that player leaves for the NBA in bad academic standing. Yes, I realize this can happen!

That can't affect APR, as Texas got a perfect 1,000 and at least two players go pro there early every year.

LOL, injecting intelligence into the thread? All I said was that Lick had one of the least talented teams in Big Ten history and one of the lower APR scores. Having two players flunk out certainly does not help.

I forgot my at the end of that sentence. Yes having players flunk and leave, or flunk and get arrested is even better. Hopefully, with the end of one era and the beginning of this one, we won't have to see APR scores like that again.
