APR Distribution Changes from 2003-04 to 2005-06

Summary: 

Summary Although we have not seen large-scale shifts in the APR distribution, significant and notable changes appear to have occurred in 2005-06. The primary changes are APR improvement of squads with low two-year APRs and a decrease in the number of '0/2s'. Sizable decreases in the number of 0/2s have been seen in baseball and football. The drop in eligibility rates previously seen (likely due to increases in the academic progress toward degree standards) may have stabilized. APR trends for football and baseball are positive. Men’s basketball is showing a slight downward trend in APR due largely to a decrease in retention rates.

Changes in the Number of 0/2s among all Squads Submitting Data in Each Year (2003-04 to 2005-06): 

Changes in the Number of 0/2s among all Squads Submitting Data in Each Year (2003-04 to 2005-06) Notes: (1) Only squads reporting APR data in all three years displayed (N=6,016). (2) '0/2' defined as student-athletes separating from a school while academically ineligible. Interpretation: The number of 0/2s dropped in 2005-06 (approximately a 7% decrease in comparison to 2004-05).

Changes in 2005-06 Single-Year APR as a Function of Previous Two-Year APR: 

Changes in 2005-06 Single-Year APR as a Function of Previous Two-Year APR Notes: (1) Only squads reporting APR data in all three years displayed (N=6,016). (2) Rates include adjustments and bonuses. (3) Of the 60 squads with 2-year APRs below 900 and a 2005-06 APR that was 10 or more points lower, 57 were public institutions (95%), 27 were bottom 10% in resources (45%), and 50 (83%) had below average resource levels. 14 (23%) were men’s basketball teams, 11 (18%) were baseball teams, and 4 (7%) were football teams (no more than 3 teams in any other sport).

Average APRs by Sport for Men’s Teams (Single-Year APRs in Sports with 30 or More Teams) Shaded = Sport average below 950 Interpretation: APR is trending positively in baseball and football and negatively in men’s basketball

Trends in Number of “0 for 2s”-- Student-Athletes Leaving School While Academically Ineligible: 

Trends in Number of '0 for 2s'-- Student-Athletes Leaving School While Academically Ineligible N = Number of student-athletes leaving school while ineligible ('0 for 2s') during that academic year (includes SAs who left ineligible after exhausting their eligibility). % = Percentage of individuals in that sport who were 0 for 2s in that academic year. Interpretation: (1) Decrease in the number and percentage of 0 for 2s has been much steeper in baseball and football than in men’s basketball. (2) Cohort sizes have increased each year (reason why N is fairly stable for men’s basketball but percentage of 0 for 2s has decreased).

Projections of Impact of APR Benchmarks in Year 4

Executive Summary: 

Executive Summary Observed three-year impacts of 900 and 925 cut-offs were within the ranges projected based on the two-year data. Four-year projections (with the squad size adjustment removed for all but those squads projected to have a four-year cohort size less than 30) indicate that many teams are in danger of being below one or both penalty benchmarks next year. Current projections are that 9-12% of squads will be eligible for CP next year. Current projections are that 3-4% of squads will be eligible for HP next year. A number of teams cannot pull themselves above the penalty lines even with a perfect 4th year APR score. 278 teams (4.5 percent) cannot achieve 925 even with 1000 in 2006-07. 86 teams (1.4 percent) cannot achieve 900 even with 1000 in 2006-07.
