In the honorable business of D-I college recruiting - there is a current Toole or Patsos recruit that is being told by another school's staff that Siena basketball will not be able to play in the postseason (was not specific on when) "due to grades" which I take to mean graduation rates. However, those numbers have been glowing under Fran/Mitch. Article below is from last semester. Anyone recall any issues? www.sienasaints.com/genrel/103012aab.html |

That would be a bunch of crap.
That attached article though is about the GSR which isn't used for postseason bans, that would be the APR.
Schools need a 4 year average to dip below 930 to trigger a postseason ban a la UConn and a bunch of other schools this year.
Siena's last 4 year scores that have been released are 935, 958, 961, 965.

I believe you two consecutive sub 930's for ban-- 1st time is a warning

Hmmm. I see a 917 (2004), 907 (2005) and 921 (2006). That's 3 years under 930. Why no penalty? Manhattan and SPC both registered penalties with better scores?!?
I'm not sure I understand the formula.

From Wiki:
The NCAA Board of Directors, on Thursday August 11, voted to ban Division I athletic teams from postseason play if their four-year academic progress rate failed to meet 930.[12]
The new policy will begin taking effect in the 2012-13 academic year, however institutions will have a period of 3 years to align their APR with the new standard. The postseason restrictions for the next few years are as follows:
2012-13 postseason: 900 four-year average or 930 average over most recent two years
2013-14 postseason: either 930 four-year average or 940 average over most recent two years
2015-2016 postseason and beyond: 930 four-year average[13]
Currently, the APR benchmark for postseason play is 900 so this is a significant increase and could result in serious consequences for some institutions that fail to improve their APR.

The increase in APR at the schools I looked at over the last three years is pretty staggering. Are all these schools bringing in better students and making them study more? Or are they simply coming up with new courses like golf and basket weaving to put them in and make it easier to keep them academically eligible and in good standing with the APR. I could be wrong but I think to stay academically eligible they only care how many credits you have and not what actual courses they are in and whether those courses are truly working towards a major. So a guy that goes to school two years and leaves for the NBA without taking a single real class that would help him towards a major will count perfect against the APR.
