The NCAA approved today a new rule that disqualifies teams with a 4-year Academic Progress Rate below 930 from postseason play. This is something that may affect the Panthers, as they have fallen below that cutoff several times recently. In 2005-06 (916), 2006-07 (923), 2007-08 (923), and 2009-10 (926). |

Not as long as Jeter is coach. All four years of there are Jeter years, but he spent a long time chasing someone else's players into classrooms. I can tell you I had several classes with players who had exhausted eligibility before I stepped foot on campus.

Can you clarify how this works?
Pearl's last team was '04-'05. His remaining players lasted until the '05-'06 season in which Tigert, Pancratz, Hill (Not sure about Boo, McCoy, and Ford) all graduated. how do any of the seasons after '06 have to due with the previous staff?

Sure can. Your APR score is compiled of the last five years' worth of players who have progressed through your program. Let's say Darron Chevrolet is a JUCO center who played in 2004-05 and 2005-06. Now, Chevrolet didn't graduate in spring of 2006, but a few semesters later and in good standing. But because he didn't finish college within five years of graduating high school, he had a negative impact on the school's APR. That is until he actually did graduate, when his negative number came off the books. Players who transfer to other schools are their problem. Players who drop out are our problem. So, Tim Flowers, Kevin Johnson, and Torre Johnson have all been bad for our APR because they haven't finished their degrees. And since Flowers and Johnson were freshmen in 07-08, they won't stop dragging down our APR until the end of the 2011-12 season, five years from graduating HS. There's actually a really simple calculation. Take every player on the roster - scholarship and walk-on: 16 players. You get one point for staying with the school and one point for being academically eligible. Say one of those kids left the school but was in good standing. We've only gotten 31 of a possible 32 points because he transferred. Take that fraction and multiply it by 1,000. There's your APR. It get's fuzzy when they hold onto former players who haven't graduated, and certain transfers dont count against the school because they left with high marks. |
