Yale was one of only four schools in the nation to have more than 20 of its teams ranked in the top-10 percent of the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate, released on Mar. 1. Twenty-six of Yale's 29 teams that were eligible to be rated were in the top-10 percent. Brown (24), Dartmouth (22) and Princeton (21) were the others.
Today's Daily Pennsylvanian has a commentary on the NCAA's Academic Progress Report (APR). The column suggests the reporting system leaves much to be desired even though it -- not surprisingly -- had the Ivy League as the conference with the highest APR and the Patriot League second. ... Stephen A. Smith, the clamorous ESPN personality and Philadelphia Inquirer columnist, writes today about Temple football losing nine scholarships as a result of the APR numbers. Writes Mr. Smith: "When it comes to football, the Owls simply do nothing right." Ouch.
