APR For Pitt Keeps Rising

Filed under: Basketball,Football,NCAA — Chas @ 12:24 am

Good news for Pitt, the NCAA’s Academic Progress Reports have been released, and Pitt (PDF) is still in good shape.

For several years, we have been hearing and reading about how the APR would really start to improve for Pitt football once they started taking into account the post-Johnny Majors (the Walt Harris) years, and sure enough the multiyear APR for the football team it hit 948 this year. That’s well above the 925 minimum and apparently in the 70th-80th percentile among football programs.

In basketball, it was only 907, but because the sample size was too small (not enough players who were eligible to graduate) there are no penalties. Next year will be the big year as the 4th year will be included. Pitt does appear to be in good shape to meet the standards by that point.

UPDATE: I also did a general post for AOL. Not many BCS schools had scholarship losses in basketball and football. Arizona football lost 4 scholarships, Iowa State basketball 2 scholarships and Cincinnati basketball 1 scholarship.





Do you have the link to check other schools?

Did I forget to include that? Ooops. It’s been added.
