The National Collegiate Athletic Association released its annual report today on the academic progress of Division I athletes, penalizing 137 teams at 80 institutions for the poor academic performance of their athletes. This is the sixth year the NCAA has published the exhaustive analysis, which measures the retention and academic eligibility of scholarship athletes as well as their progress toward degrees. The sports of men’s basketball, football, and baseball, which have historically lagged behind other teams in their performance in the classroom, posted the lowest average scores. The Chronicle will have more on this story later today.

How can one determine how one’s own institution has fared among those division 1 teames penalized for the poor academic performance of their student athletes?Also, does the NCAA also list institutions that are performing very well in this area?Professor Thomas DublinSUNY Binghamton

To see any institution’s penalties and/or all APR stats, go to http://www.ncaa.org/ and follow the “Searchable APR database” link.
