Football has best APR score everin program history

[HornsRuleU]

The football program had the best APR in school history, thanks to Coach Strong.

SCHOOL Multi-year APR

1. TEXAS 978
2. Kansas State 975
3. Baylor 973
4. Iowa State 969
5. Oklahoma 965
6. TCU 955
7. Oklahoma State 953
8. Texas Tech 947
9. Kansas 943
10. West Virginia 940

KSU is a degree mill, so it's no surprise that they're near the top. Conversely, how embarrassing is it that fellow degree mill TTU is so low? Those two schools accept virtually all applicants.

For a school with the academic integrity of UT-Austin, however, to be at the top -- that's huge.

So are you saying that "at least Strong lost with smart kids"? That is commendable btw.

perhaps not smart....but at least they were going to class and studying

Strong certainly had the kids best interest at heart imo, and that is becoming a rarity. That unfortunately isn't enough, but it made it sad to see him fail.

You don't have to be smart to succeed in college, just ask former Academic all conference member Jamal Charles.

I am not splitting hairs, but, Mack deserves credit as well.

This APR is based on data submitted by the institution for the 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 academic years.

Not splitting hairs at all. Good point.

Yep, ole charlie sure had them hardcore on the student part of 'student athlete'. Should have maybe tried focusing a little bit on the athlete part too
