I don't pretend to be an APR expert, but any concern here?

Suppose they could or could not like any other program. I'll give it a 2% chance
 


The most important number is our multi-year (4-year) number of 960 . That needs to stay above 930.

We need to hope that Dorsey and Morris both don't ding us on the way out.

As for Dorsey, scandal-related sex video departures don't count against APR scores.
 


How will OSU recover from the impact of damn-near their entire freshman class leaving? That can't be good for the old APR.

Whether he stays the rest of the Semester and stays in good academic standing, matters though.

Uh oh! FYI-Twitter has a lovely block feature.
 




He tweeted this too. Of course he would phrase it that way. Didn't the Gophers have one of the best APR's in the Big Ten while Kill was head coach?

JHC, it's been so nice without that pompous ass. Why?
 


per Amelia:

The University of Minnesota men’s basketball team was the outlier in an otherwise exceptional showing by the school’s athletic department in the latest academic reports released Wednesday.

The program’s most recent score (860 points on a 1,000-point scale) was the lowest among Minnesota’s 23 sports by more than 80 points. Next year’s Academic Progress Report could show similar numbers for coach Richard Pitino’s team, due to recent player departures. If a program’s four-year average score dips too low, penalties such as postseason bans or a loss of scholarships could be assessed.

“While we are pleased with our overall Academic Progress Rates, there are areas where we can improve,” senior associate athletic director Chris Werle wrote in a statement to the Star Tribune. “Men’s basketball is an area that suffered a drop in its APR and we are committed to improving that score as the program moves forward.”

The combination every coach dreads. ... on-court performance trending downward, with APR numbers also going the wrong way. Generally speaking, I think most fans and major-conference universities will tolerate the latter as long as the former is trending upward. But not both heading south.

Tough spot for Pitino. Needs to win now, but that (needing a quick fix) is not conducive to improving your APR scores. Not saying I blame them, but 99% of major-college coaches will try to fix the former first & worry about the latter later. They are paid to win, first, and to produce scholars, a distant second. Richard is a smart man, he knows the on-court results must make a major hike next season.

All that matters is what their grades were when they finished. Otherwise Kentucky would have received the death penalty by now.
