Love the headline: "Cal athletic teams show ambiguous academic progress"!?!

am·big·u·ous/amˈbigyo͞oəs/
Adjective: Open to more than one interpretation; having a double meaning.  Unclear or inexact because a choice between alternatives has not been made.

The Cal football team ranks 11th in the Pac-12 in the NCAA’s most recent Academic Progress Report (APR), released Wednesday for a four-year period ending with the 2010-11 academic year.  With a score of 936, the Cal football team’s APR score falls beneath the Division I football average of 948. This marks the third consecutive year in which the team’s figures have dropped, after a high of 970 in 2007-08.  The Stanford football team posted the highest score in the Pac-12. Only Washington State posted an APR score lower than Cal’s.  APR data has been collected by the NCAA since the 2004-05 season.  According to figures from the NCAA’s 2011 Graduation Success Rate Report, the graduation rate of Cal players over a four-year period was 54 percent, down from 65 percent the previous year. The rate was brought down by the team’s most recent class, which graduated at a 31 percent clip.

To quote Inigo Montoya (from The Princess Bride): "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
