No Change in APR Timing; UConn out of Next Year's Postseason
The Committee on Academic Performance has decided not to change the timetable by which it uses APR scores to determine postseason eligibility. In other words, UConn will not be playing in next year's NCAA tournament.
UConn still disagrees with the decision -- not the intent, but simply the timing.
"We still believe there's a way for the 2011-12 scores to count for the '13 season," said UConn SID Mike Enright. "We're disappointed that didn't happen."
Here's a statement from CAP chairman Walter Harrison:
Statement from Walter
Harrison
Committee on Academic Performance Reaffirms APR
Timing
“During our July 12-13
meeting, the Division I Committee on Academic Performance reviewed and
reaffirmed our current policies and procedures regarding Academic Progress Rate
(APR) data and implementation of academic penalties and/or postseason
eligibility.
“These policies were
originally devised after considering several important conditions and objectives
that are desired in the Division I Academic Performance Program (APP), as listed
below.
1. Penalty decisions should be based
on a body of data sufficient to support valid decisions;
2. Procedures should provide
adequate time for a fair and deliberate process that ensures that data are
correct and all waiver requests put forward by a school are given thorough
review;
3. Data used in making decisions on
penalties or eligibility for postseason competition should be as close as
practicable in time to the implementation of those decisions;
and
4. Procedures should enable
consideration of student-athletes' interests in transferring if their own
academic performances have been strong and they are in their last season of
eligibility.
“After discussion over
several meetings, the committee concluded the current process is effective and
achieves a careful and appropriate balance among these factors. We expect to
continue with these policies and procedures in the
future.”
