NCAA releases Academic Progress Rate for every SEC football team
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:
