How did Big Ten football teams perform in the NCAA's latest Academic Progress Rate report?
The NCAA on Tuesday released its annual report on Academic Progress Rates, or APR, which measure college athletes' annual academic performance. The NCAA says that APR "holds institutions accountable for the academic progress of their student-athletes through a team-based metric that accounts for the eligibility and retention of each student-athlete for each academic term."
According to NCAA data, Michigan, which won Big Ten and national championships last year, recorded a perfect one-year APR score of 1,000 for the 2022-23 academic calendar, the most recent reporting year. Ohio State and Minnesota also reported one-year scores of 1,000. Penn State football improved its year-over-year academic progress after coach James Franklin said the program would address its performance last year. Penn State recorded an Academic Progress rate of 959 for the 2022-23 academic year, an improvement over the score of 914 it recorded in 2021-22."I think first of all everybody knows how important academics are to Penn State, the university as a whole," Franklin said in 2023.
Penn State's 2021-22 APR score of 914 was the program's lowest in a decade and the lowest in the Big Ten Conference for the academic year. The 2022-23 APR score of 959 ranked 12th in the Big Ten last season. Penn State football posted a perfect APR of 1,000 for the 2018-19 academic year., uses the scores to determine academic progress of athletic teams. Teams that fall below a certain metric could face penalties, including postseason ineligibility.
In discussing the APR score last year, Franklin cited the football program's 89-percent graduation success rate, another metric the NCAA uses to measure academic progress. That was 2 percentage points higher than the football program's previous GSR and seven points higher than the average of teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision.Here's how current Big Ten's football teams fared in academic progress, according to the 2022-23 single-year APR scores.
