[QUOTE="gtphd, post: 494750, member: 4269"] Graduation doesn’t factor into APR. It’s based on the number of students academically eligible at the end of the fall season. Let’s say you have 85 scholarship players, a perfect score is 85*2 = 170. If 70 remain eligible at the end of the season, you get 70 * 2 = 140 points. If 5 players are academically ineligible but you keep them on scholarship, you get 5 * 1 = 5 points for those players. If 5 transfer out while academically eligible, you get 5 * 1 = 5 points for those players. If 5 players transfer out (or lose scholarships) while academically ineligible, you get 0 points for those players. So in this scenario, you’d have 140 + 5 + 5 = 160 points. 160 / 170 = .941, which is a 941 APR. So graduation doesn’t factor in, only eligibility. How you game this: push all the difficult classes to the end of the student’s degree and only have him take the minimum course load. He’d spend his football career taking the easier courses with a light course load and would stay eligible. Then after he’s done with football, he has to take a ton of tough courses, where he presumably struggles. Those struggles won’t impact APR because he’s no longer a football player but could keep him from graduating. [/QUOTE]
