NCAA approves APR increase

The NCAA has approved increasing the required academic performance of all teams and mandated that teams must meet those requirements in order to participate in any NCAA-sponsored championship or football bowl game.

The board voted to raise the Academic Progress Rate benchmark from 900 to 930 and a penalty structure that will require teams to earn at least a 930 four-year, rolling APR in order to participate in NCAA-sponsored championship or football bowl games.

If this applies to the basketball tournament as well, it's going to cause lots of problems for some of the major teams. I'd love to see some of the FBS teams lose out on bowl games because of their APR.
