Basketball APR

  • Question for the board, Connecticut is being barred from the 2013 NCAA tournament for low APR. With Kentucky having 1 and done's every year, how are they not affected?

  • I'm not sure how that works but if they are affected bc of one and done then that is BS. The only reason you go to college is to a degree so you can get a job. Not sure of many jobs fresh out of college better then being a professional athlete.

    The fundamental problem with the APR is simple. Like any other rule, the smarter coaches know how to game the system.

    The main key to staying out of APR trouble is not whether players graduate, but whether they are in good academic standing when they leave. So when John Wall goes one-and-done but finishes the spring semester, Kentucky doesn’t get penalized. When three Syracuse players left to go pro in the spring of 2009 without bothering to complete their courses, it led to a huge APR hit, even though there was nothing Jim Boeheim could do to stop it.
