They need a 942 next year to be bowl eligible and Akron needs a 931.

Ah, would you look at that -- Toledo finishes second to us in the classroom, too.

That's tie I'll take with Air Force

I'm really surprised that Miami OH is not ranked higher.

It doesn't measure academic quality, just progress of athletes towards graduation at their school. That's why a low-level academic school like Boise, with its 8% 4-year graduation rate (that's not a typo), can score so high.

UT was #1 in FB Academic All-MAC.

Thank God for women sports on keeping the rating up.

What happen to men's basketball? Too many players stop going to class? Cannot win on the floor and cannot win in the classroom. Bad combo.

If i remember correctly, your APR is negatively affected when players transfer out of your program before getting their degree (yes?). The men's basketball program has had a ton of transfers through the last four years.

Sort of. You're only docked APR points if a player leaving has a GPA below 2.6 and/or is not in good academic standing. So while I would think it has a negative impact overall, it's probably only a significant factor in the final APR score if there are systemic academic problems on a team.
