The kid has a choice, he goes to classes or he sits.  You have to take away the thing he desires the most and if Boeheim or any other coach continues to play a kid who isn't going to class then it's obvious what priority that coach is taking.  Now, if the kid continues to not go and sits yes that will effect the APR if he ends up failing. 
 
I believe that the APR is decent in theory but there are way too many variables out there for it really to be a judge on how well a school is doing academically with its student athletes.  SEC schools just pass the kids and it's no problem because they are passing but if you have any kind of academic pride you make sure the kids are really going to classes and have all the resources that are available to them.  This just give everybody an "A" crap is just that, crap but the bonehead that heads the education system for our country won't see it like that because those A's sure look pretty nice on his record.   I swear, substance doesn't matter anymore and if you can play the game and know how to BS like the SEC can do in spades, you're fine.
 
Isn't funny how they don't do this for football?  Hmm...I wonder why?
