Thanks to Kraggy. This is just part of why no UofL fans buy the BS that the AD's office fed the national media, leading to dozens of comments by broadcasters during national telecasts under Kraggy that he was "trying to instill discipline, improve in the classroom, and get good character guys into the program."
I realize the APR may stretch back some into Petrino’s years, but this is on Kraggy. He didn’t get it done anywhere. Now Strong has to deal with 3 less schollies due to an APR below 925. Of note, under Strong's leadership UofL football posted the highest team GPA in school history this past fall.
Kraggy didn't have leadership on the field or in the classroom
better to leave this stuff in-house. I don;t think fans of tother teams really care how ****** a coach he was. I know I don't care how ****** Syracuse' last coach was, or how he wrecked their program.
I don't think losing scholarships is anything that needs to be hidden. Compared to many other threads on the board I think this post is far from the end of the line interest wise.
APR is public information. This is coming out regardless. Better to be in front of it as UofL appears to be doing. Just another example of the utter failure of a football coach that is Steve Kragthorpe.

I personally thought Kragthorpe was a good hire at the time. The guy did a great job at Tulsa, but he ended up failing miserably no doubt about it. Was it timing or just incompentence? Seems to me he did inherit a bit of a mess after Petrino; Petrino's teams started to remind me a lot of the 80's Miami team toward the end; just the way I saw it.

Some schools though with very HIGH scores do seem to promote their academic success as an advantage...as Rutgers Football finished in the Top 10% for the 4 straight year in a row.
From article below:
Rutgers football ranks in top 10 in APR for fourth straight year

Five Rutgers teams — football, gymnastics, tennis, men’s cross country and women’s soccer — received public recognition from the NCAA for top academic performance for their multi-year Academic Progress Rate scores, the NCAA announced today.
See link for complete article.

ND had some very good academic scores regarding its athletic teams.
"The University of Notre Dame ranked number one among all 120 Football Bowl Subdivision institutions with 17 of its athletics programs receiving 2011 Academic Progress Rate public recognition awards, as the NCAA today honored Division I sports teams for their latest multi-year APR scores.
These 17 Irish teams posted multi-year APR scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The public recognition awards are part of the broad Division I academic reform effort. These awards are based on the most recent APR numbers that represent the combination of scores from the 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10 academic years. "

"Notre Dame Men's Sports Again Fare Well in 2010 Graduation Rates
Nine Irish athletic programs post top-rated GSR rates according to NCAA
Nine of the University of Notre Dame's men's athletic programs posted Graduation Success Rate numbers that ranked them best in the nation within their sports - and five produced federal graduation rates that led all NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) institutions, according to institutional research based on 2010 graduation-rate figures released by the NCAA.
GSR statistics for Irish men's sports featured eight perfect 100 scores - in baseball, basketball, cross country/track, fencing, golf, lacrosse, soccer and swimming - plus a 96 in football, a 95 in hockey and a 93 in tennis. The federal figures showed that - among Notre Dame's men's sports - cross country/track, fencing, and swimming achieved 100 percent scores. Lacrosse scored 93, golf 92, and hockey 91 among other Irish raw federal scores.
Nine Irish men's programs had GSR rates ranking them first within their sports among the NCAA FBS subset of 120 schools, while one program finished second:"
