Texas Football Tops in Big 12 in APR

From MB-TF:

For the second straight year, The University of Texas received the top score among Big 12 football teams in the NCAA’s latest Academic Progress Rate report. The report included data from the 2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2006-07 academic years, and the Longhorns received a score of 942, which is over the Division I football average of 934 and the Division I public university football average of 925.

 

Always good to see. Of course, Longhorn fans will also be watching closely this summer for progress on the discipline front. Last season's string of incidents embarrassed fans and the university alike, so much so that Brown created a special position for Ken Rucker to manage specifically for things like academics and good off field behavior.

commented on this? Does that mean nobody cares, or that it’s the off season?

I think it’s a good idea the NCAA is measuring this stuff – at least schools are going to be punished for not giving a damn about their athletes as students.

totally missed this

It’s hard to tell when there’s a new fanpost since there’s not that [NEW] bracket by it anymore. So it’s hard to tell until someone comments for me. Just a thought.

Anyways, this is great news for the football team. Very proud of them for the academic success.

Hate to spoil the fun...

But Texas tied for first. The other team? OU.

Still, an impressive accomplishment, but kinda takes the shine off it.
