Congrats to Kentucky!!

 

[MaxwellCuse]

Very impressive to see SU up on that board with schools such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford. Would be even more impressive if Kentucky was not also there. Nonetheless, good job guys!

I know it's fun to make fun of SEC academics or lack their of, but they have seven teams on there.

UNC not on the list, but they did not have any courses from which to pass judgment.

There's a fake list, and UNC is at the top of that one.

 

[cuse10]

You'd think that Virginia would be on that list.

Where’s Duke? Thought they were such an elite, prestigious school that does things the right way, and a “family”?

That loss to Lehigh really broke K huh?

Any time Syracuse is top school in the ACC in academics, it is great news. Nice job by the players and the staff!

ACC Football, Basketball, Baseball Lead NCAA’s APR Data

GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Atlantic Coast Conference teams continue to stand out among those from Division I colleges and universities that meet standards and excel academically, as evidenced by the annual Academic Progress Rate (APR) team data released by the NCAA on Wednesday.

theacc.com

All 58 ACC football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball and baseball programs exceed the required 930 APR average

Men’s Basketball: 10 ACC teams have an APR above the Division I average 967 (most among peer conferences and three more than the next-closest Power 5 league)

All Syracuse teams meet NCAA’s APR standards, remain eligible for postseason

All of Syracuse's sports teams met the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate standard and will be elibible for postseason competition next year.

SU Basketball posts Perfect APR Score

Some guy here said SU will be in trouble when the APR scores are posted. Well, SU basketball posted a perfect 1000 score.

Thanks walk ons! You saved the day! Again!

I’m pretty sure for the NCAA’s APR calculations only scholarship players count - now for grad rates that may very well differ.

Umm, a perfect score indicates there was no need to “save the day”. Scholarship guys did well too.

That is my understanding also but I haven't researched to verify.

Sorry, was thinking of the days when we routinely gave scholarships to walk ons. That practice really helped our APR in the past.

Looks like the last one to get one was Braedon Bayer last season.
