USAF ACADEMY, Colo. — The Air Force men's basketball team has the top Academic Progress Rate (APR) score of all Mountain West teams with a with a 987, according to the NCAA release of the latest multiyear NCAA Division I scores. The Falcons were also the top ranked service academy over Navy (984) and Army (974).
Each year, the NCAA honors selected NCAA Division I sports teams by publicly recognizing their latest multiyear NCAA Division I Academic Progress Rate. This announcement is part of the overall Division I academic reform effort and is intended to highlight teams that demonstrate a commitment to academic progress and retention of student-athletes by achieving the top APRs within their respective sports. Specifically, these teams posted multiyear APRs in the top 10 percent of all squads in each sport. The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship (recruited and on varsity roster for non-scholarship schools). The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance.
