- APR. From the most recent batch of Academic Performance Rates available from the NCAA, if a program finished in the top 10%, it got a score of 10. If a program finished in the 40%-49% range, it got a score of 5. For example, Boise State's most recently released APR for football players was 70-80%, so it gets a score of 8.
Why this is important: After all, these are supposed to be student-athletes out there playing. This is a good indicator for how much emphasis a program places on academics rather than simply using the football players for their on-the-field talents.
