Thanks for posting. I expect the U to be top 4 within three years. Michigan must be embarrassed.

For whatever reason, I cannot get any of the pages to load, and I have tried a few different ways. Could someone post a rundown of all the B1G Ten Football APR scores for me? I would appreciate it!

Wow! Mason really sucked at holding his players accountable for their performance in the classroom.

I think they'll survive.

 

[Bayfieldgopher]

Wow! Mason really sucked at holding his players accountable for their performance in the classroom.

Plus the attrition rate was 45-50% most years. It was definitely not a stable time in terms of the roster and the depth was very thin.

Honestly, I'm surprised to see the B1G numbers. The Gophs are tied for 10th out of 14 teams. That's nothing to be turning cartwheels over. Yes, the Gophs are improving, but they have a ways to go to even get into the top half ot the conference. The way Sid and some other people are crowing about the Gophs improvement, I assumed they were doing better vis-a-vis the other schools in the conference.

To me, it comes off as saying "hooray, we don't suck!" I would hope that an institution that prides itself on academic achievement would not be satisfied with simply not being the worst.

Honestly, I'm surprised to see the B1G numbers. The Gophs are tied for 10th out of 14 teams. That's nothing to be turning cartwheels over.

I guarantee you Kill and crew aren't "satisfied" with 955, they're striving for 1,000 no doubt. But when you consider our previous numbers, yes, this is something to be happy about, it's easily our highest one year number we've had. And I think the assumption is that the number will continue to go up and we'll be in the higher half of the conference in due time.

It is a four year rolling average, so it can't go up to 1000 in a year. Jumping up 20 points since Kill came in is a very good step in the right direction, especially considering when Kill came in he was convinced his first year they were going to be below the 925 threshold where penaltes are applied due to some transfers and other dead wood on the team.

 

[Bayfieldgopher]

Coach Kill has to be extremely pleased with the 2011-12 score of 994. He has no control over what took place prior to his arrival.

Remember we had guys like Smith, Nance, Whaley, Maresh, Eskridge, Edwards, Davis, Dandridge, Allen, Brooks, Rengel, Howell, Potter, Tate', etc. who left the program when Brewster was in charge. I think that some of those departures are still considered in the 4 year average although I am not certain how transfers affect the score. I don't think it does if the players transfers then graduates at a different school.

The attrition rate has gone down under Coach Kill which should help future APR scores. My guess is that Edwards will count against the score for another two years.

FWIW, 994 is an insane number for a single year APR total. Only 10 other schools have tied or beaten it (some multiple times) in the last 4 seasons, which is when the NCAA started including it in the yearly reports.

955 may only be 10th in the B1G, but that's due to Brewster not Kill.

Wait, am I missing something? I thought 955 was our 11-12 score, not multiyear. Where's the 994 come from?

How much $$$$$ is the athletic department providing for the tutoring staff and resources compared to what they used to provide? It seems as though this is something that the NCAA has been gradually tracking and putting pressure on all Division I programs to put emphasis on. It is not the same situation that Murray Warmath had...or Cal Stoll... or Smokey Joe or lou hoax...or Guttey...or Wacker. This puppy is a work in progress MANDATED by the NCAA. Apples to prunes comparisons.

The mandate is to do better...and better...and better! Graduate EVER increasing numbers of student athletes.

994 is the 2011-12 academic year score. 955 is the weighted average four year score for the academic years ended 2011-12 (which is what matters most in terms of penalties).

A year from now (which will include data through the year just ended), Minnesota could have an above average year but still see a decline in the important "multi-year"/four-year score. This is because Brewster's 2008-09 year was actually very good (968) and will fall off of next year's score. The great news for Minnesota is that this year's 994 will continue to impact their APR for another three years. (Notes: Calculating the multi-year APR score IS NOT as simple as taking each year and dividing by four. Also, keep in mind the APR does NOT measure GPA or graduation success.)

This excerpt from a Late Night Hoops article might help:

Gopher Football Posts Excellent 2011-12 score
The NCAA says the Minnesota Golden Gophers football team achieved a 994 APR for the 2011-12 academic year. That brings their four-year APR score to 955.

There is always work to do, but the 2011-12 score will greatly help the Gophers for a few years to come. Next year’s score will include the four years ending with the 2012-13 school year. The season dropping off in a year, 2008-09, was very good for Tim Brewster’s Gophers (968).

In 2009-10, Minnesota football scored 928 and for the 2010-11 academic year they reached just 917. The actual four-year calculation is weighted by individual points, but a gross, unweighted calculation of the last three years gets you to an average 946.

In a year Minnesota will need to be above 930 (four year) or 940 (two year) to stay out of postseason trouble. Mathematically, that means they would need an unthinkable score of less than 890 in 2012-13 to run into trouble.

We’ve been of the believe for the past two years that the Minnesota men’s basketball team is the score to keep an eye on, not the football team. As of today, we’re comfortable to confirm that stance and say the football team looks to be in pretty good shape.

Of course, these rules were gradually introduced. Just having a standardized expectation in place was not an easy thing to do among the various conferences spread out across the nation. As the standards hit the penalty phase, then and only then did coaches and athletic directors start committing many more resources. It only the last decade that the NCAA, coaches or administrators started really giving a rip about the academic side of college revenue sports. And, as it has been phased in and minimum standards established...and then increased, there have been many more funds dedicated to this new and improved forced and enforced academic achievement by the football program as a whole. Coaches have to offer scholarships wisely...and...there have to be academic staff members who are well trained and well paid and well versed in improving group academic scores.

MAKE them be student athletes or LOSE scholarships coaches and athletic administrators of revenue sports. Kick their butts...Make them study...and POUND THE BOOKS all the time!

Keep pushing. Keep taking scholarships away from programs that don't comply with 2013 standards. However, standards in 2013 are totally and completely different than they were in 2003...why way back in 1993..1983 and earlier it was kind of a zoo. There were always some great academic student athletes on virtually every team...but...there were also the ones who didn't even really attend many classes...(there were NO standards way back then. Barry Switzer's Sooners come to mind... for just one example.... The NCAA has decided to MAKE those GPA's get better one way or another. Taking away scholarships was a GREAT motivator. Lots of things used to be different than they are today. May the NCAA keep on pushing...keep on taking scholarships away from the non-compliant...and allow no exceptions...play no favorites...enforce...enforce...enforce!
