On the Agenda Playing and Practice Limits Academic Progress Rate Progress Toward Degree Facilities Questions??

Playing and Practice Limitations Out of Season 8 Hours per week/No more than 2 hours of individual skill related instruction.  (NCAA BYLAW through ) In Season 20 Hours per week/4 Hours per Day  (NCAA BYLAW ) No Missed Class Time Due to Practice Letters sent to faculty members to inform of missed class days due to athletic competition first week of each semester.  (ISU Student-Athlete Handbook, p. 37)

Academic Progress Rate (APR) Measures real-time assessment of a team’s academic performance Based on the most recent 4 years of eligibility and retention data A 1000 point scale 925 APR score roughly correlated with 50% GSR Teams with APR <925 suffer penalties Data Collection began in 2003/2004

Academic Progress Rate (APR) Only scholarship student-athletes included in the calculation A total of 4 APR points can be earned by each student-athlete per year 1 APR point if academically eligible to compete the next semester and meeting NCAA’s standards for progress toward degree 1 APR point if retained by the program in the next semester (staying enrolled)

APR Calculation Student is academically eligible and remains at the school for both semesters-4/4 Student is eligible fall semester and plays basketball through the final game of the spring, and then drops out of school without completing classes (2/2 in fall; 0/2 in spring) Student is eligible fall semester and plays basketball, is ruled academically ineligible for the spring, but stays in the program and regains eligibility for the following fall (1/2 in fall; 2/2 in spring) Student is eligible fall semester and plays basketball through the final game of the spring, completes the spring semester in good standing, but then transfers to another university (2/2 in fall; 1/2 in spring – can get retention point back if we receive verification from transfer institution that student is enrolled full-time)

APR Calculation Year 1 – 50/52 APR Points-961 Year 2 – 46/52 APR Points-884 Year 3 – 47/52 APR Points-903 Year 4 – 48/52 APR Points-923 Total: 191/208 APR points APR score of 918 – calculated by dividing 191 by 208 and multiplying by 1000

APR Penalty Structure Contemporaneous Penalties Scholarship Reductions Historical Penalties Penalties are progressive and cumulative Designed to punish habitual offenders Scholarship reductions, practice restrictions, post-season competition ban, up to restricted NCAA membership status for all teams

Why Have Contemporaneous Penalties? Goal of NCAA Division I Academic Performance Program (APP) is to provide student-athletes with an exemplary educational experience Serve as an early warning Attention-getting penalties Catalyst for change for academically underperforming teams Support behavioral shifts needed to meet progress-toward-degree-requirements

Historical Penalties Penalties are progressive and cumulative Occasion One: Public Announcement (CP also may apply) Occasion Two: Public announcement PLUS scholarship reductions and practice restrictions Occasion Three: Public announcement, scholarship reductions, practice restrictions, PLUS postseason competition ban Occasion Four: Public announcement, scholarship reductions, practice restrictions, postseason competition ban, PLUS restricted membership status for all teams

Historical Penalty Structure Institutions must demonstrate three “clean” years (multi-year APR above 900) in order to avoid progression in the historical-penalty structure If a team does not get to 900 or at least show significant progress toward 925, they move to the next occasion.
