The NCAA released the latest Academic Progress Rates (APR) scores Wednesday and the news is good all the way around the Southeastern Conference. Not a single football program is in any danger of missing out on postseason play due to a poor APR score.
The current threshold for participating in the postseason is an APR score of 930.
The NCAA describes the Academic Progress Rate as ‘a team-based metric that accounts for the eligibility and retention of each student-athlete, each term.’ The multi-year rates cover a four-year period for the 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 academic years.
Here’s a visual breakdown of how the APR scores are determined:
