KNOXVILLE – The University of Tennessee’s 20 men’s and women’s sports teams are continuing to make the grades in the classroom.
The NCAA released its annual Academic Progress Rate numbers Tuesday, and no Volunteers or Lady Vols teams will face penalties from low scores for the second consecutive year.
“Our student-athletes and coaches are aware of the high priority placed on a strong record of accomplishment in the classroom,” UT men’s athletic director Mike Hamilton said in a university release. “These APR results are indicative of the efforts of our student-athletes and coaches … in producing consistent academic success.”
In its eighth year, the APR measures eligibility, retention and graduation of student-athletes, who can earn two points per regular academic term by remaining academically eligible and returning to school as full-time students the following term, over a four-year period from 2006-07 to 2009-10. Schools with scores below 925 or 900 and student-athletes leaving school while academically ineligible can result in various penalties such as scholarship reductions or postseason bans.
