Texas Football extends impressive streak in multi-year APR
On the heels of setting a Big 12 record score last year, the Longhorns posted a school-best third-straight mark over 970.
AUSTIN, Texas – On the heels of a Big 12 record score last year, The University of Texas Football program posted a school-best third-straight mark over 970 as the multi-year NCAA Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR) was released on Wednesday.
Its score of 972 this year is the second-best in school history since the NCAA began releasing the scores in 2004-05, after registering a 978 last year, which was also an all-time conference high. Prior to that, the program scored a 971 in the data released in 2016.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete during the school year. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation in the calculation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance.
This APR is based on data submitted by the institutions for the 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 academic years.
