Wow. If this doesn't boot out Idaho they should voluntary drop out.

It's not even close.

And you care because?

I try not to post personal opinions but what does Idaho add to the conference?

A football team until we get to where we want to be.

They're APR only affects us as far as the football team goes. I just wanted to know why a CUSA/MWC fan even cares.

They are the 11th football member, that is all they add. It is time to just go to 10, like the Big 12.

I can't see how there won't be penalties, which will only make it harder to build that program back up. Recruiting to Idaho has to be tough. And if you can't sell a possibility of bowl eligibility then it's tougher. And if there are scholarship reductions then it's only that much harder.

I may be wrong but I thought there was a APR factor in the NCAA payout. Don't know if it was by team or conference.
Edit: See Below

The Group of Five also divides another $15 million based on conference team performance, along with an academic incentive of $300,000 for each school that meets the NCAA's required Academic Progress Rate related to bowl game participation.

Quote:Idaho was banned from the 2014 postseason because of low APR scores and it's feasible to think a bowl ban could be in the offing again in the future.

I guess you're right if you mean Idaho as in Idaho and not Idaho as in Boise State.

Recruiting to Boise wasn't always easy. A gimmicky blue field and a little on the field success later and it has become a lot easier. Let Boise have some down years and see if that remains the case.

You could be right though it looks like they've got it figured out better than the rest of us G5'ers.

It's been a year or two since I looked but last time I checked, a lot of the out-of-state kids Boise gets live near an airport with direct service to Boise.

Harder trick for UI

This is inexcusable, especially for the FOURTH straight year.

My patience is done.

How can you have both academic failures AND players who don't win.

Go get some 1-11 players that can make C's. At least fix one of the issues.

Nowhere near the level of Idaho, but it looks like SoBama baseball and App St basketball might have some cumulative issues.

While the 926 multiyear APR is below the standard penalty benchmark of 930, the program’s most recent two-year APR of 980 is well above the two-year improvement benchmark of 950. Therefore, the team is no longer subject to penalties and eligible to return to postseason play in 2015-16.

The recent year was 948 lifting the ban it is a four year average .
The previous coach was an idiot our AD wanted to fire him and the president did not let him.
The former president is at Texas Tech now he wasn't pro athletics.
Petrino took over a mess an undisciplined team reduced practice time didn't help last year.
This problem is already solved but the writer chose to leave that out or needed a negative sensational angle.

Nice work by the people behind the scenes as well as the players and coaches at App St. That's a major improvement.

If the multi year rate is at 896 after 2 years in the 950-960 range the other years must be ridiculously low.

Rolling multi-year APR
South Alabama baseball - 934
Troy football - 937
Troy men's tennis - 936

There aren't issues for USA. Our baseball APR has improved the past two years (and isnt below 930). The 934 in baseball is our lowest score of any sport. If the point was to call out our "low APR" don't forget your football and tennis with similar scores. Again, there are no APR issues at USA.
