"For those who don't know, the APR is simply the percentage of student athletes who remain in school and academically eligible times 1000. That's it. It is not a reflection of those students' grades, or even graduation rates.

So 93.5 % of our football players in 2011-12 remained in school and aademically eligible. It begs the question, what do we require to be academically eligible? Is it in any way more difficult than other schools? Do our professors grade harder?"

That's wrong. It's more complicated than that. The NCAA says that a four-year APR of 930 is supposed to correspond to a graduation rate of 50%.
