Falcons ranked in top 10 for eighth straight year
The Air Force football team has the nation's top Academic Progress Rate (APR) score with a 997, according to the NCAA release of the latest multiyear NCAA Division I scores. The Falcons have ranked in the nation's top two the last two years, ranking second last year with a 993, and this season marks the eighth straight in the top 10. Northwestern is ranked second this season (996), followed by Clemson (992), Duke (992) and Washington (991).
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.
