Billiken_Blues Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Just came across this article on yahoo about graduation rates: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/graduation-rates-improve-ncaa-tournament-184238499--ncaab.html I mentions that 930 is the new line for APR and falling below that could lead to future penalties. SLU is one of six teams in the tournament below that. Anybody have any idea why? It is a little concerning that we are below that line.

SaintLouBlue Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I know this has been discussed before. Issues with transfers I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw this article mentioned on the Holy Land message board as well. I was searching for the thread that discussed how our APR is trending upward and had basically bottomed out after last year...anyone able to help out?

Billiken_Blues Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Saw this article mentioned on the Holy Land message board as well. I was searching for the thread that discussed how our APR is trending upward and had basically bottomed out after last year...anyone able to help out? I thought I had heard a couple years ago that it was low because of transfers and should be coming up but when I still saw it was that low wasn't sure when this was suppose to start going up. I would like to read that thread as well because I couldn't find anything that explained it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Simply put, it's a 4 year average based on things that happened 5, 4, 3 and 2 years ago. We had a lot of transfers 5 and 4 years ago hence the low numbers. When those years roll off the average and the last few years which have been generally good are in the average we will be fine. Nothing to see here. P.s. if you want a deeper understanding of why the apr is fundamentally flawed it will take a bit longer but just understand that basketball factories like Kansas have perfect APRs because they basically cheat the system...
