Smoggy Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 It seems that only UND and UAA have not met the NCAA's APR. Sounds like two years in a row for UND. Grad article from Strib North Dakota (918) and Alaska Anchorage (914) are the only two WCHA schools with multi-year APRs that do not meet the NCAA standard. But neither school is subject to penalty due to a squad-size adjustment, which the NCAA applies to account for the smaller sample sizes of some teams. North Dakota and Anchorage are expected to take the steps necessary to raise their score. Obviously players leaving for the pros early really hurt our rates. There is another article in the Strib on WCHA departures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Whistler Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 doesnt look like we will as your quoted text already says that we rarley have many seniors anyways If a player gets a shot at the pros and finishes up school in summer school that doesn't count as a successful graduation. I think that's the way they count graduations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagard Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 It looks like if the player leaves the program acedemically eligible there are no consequences for the team. When guys like Hunter Bishop leave mid-semester (unless he finished his classes) I think that hurts your score, but all the guys who finish finals and leave in the summer don't hurt the score too badly. Truthfully I think they are trying to get football programs to start educating their players, and they will never get around to enforcing it upon hockey teams.

Smoggy Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 doesnt look like we will as your quoted text already says that we rarley have many seniors anyways This year, but what about in future years? Consider that we lost five guys early last year and have a dang good chance of losing a few more this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly confident that Bishop finished his classes. Since he wants to come back to college hockey, it was pretty important that he did. If hockey programs end up falling too low, they will get punished. Baseball seemed to be the sport that was the hardest hit last year.

My understanding, though, is that you get bonus points when a player graduates. I think you are right about the football stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagard is right, that only academically ineligible players who leave will lose you scholarships. So let's say you are a moron and can't hack it academically and are a member of the Square Root Club*, so you go to the USHL/Maj Juniors/a van down by the river. THEN your school is in trouble. *The Square Root Club is for people whose GPAs are smaller than the square root of their GPAs. For example, if your GPA is 0.75, the square root of it would be .866.

I would love to talk to a UND football player that is on scholorship and not going to class, I mean I can understand if your Greg Oden or someone who knows that they aren't going to stay in school. But ditchin class when your playing D2 football or BBall is a joke. I mean seriously when was the last time a D2 Football player that wasn't named Jim Kliensasser was drafted on the first day?
