Nice to see but I think APR is kind of a joke. Big time schools now know how to game the system evident by the fact that only 4 low major schools were cited this year and that Kentucky of all teams scored in the top 10 percent of APR.

I have to wonder how many fake classes are involved in that UNC 976.

Also, yikes AAC. Houston and ECU in dangerous territory. At 936.7 the AAC's average APR is lower than any BE school but PC (936). Mountain West in rough shape as well.

UK fans believe their school (most of them have never attended UK or any other college) is the Harvard of the south. The things they say about UK approach the incomprehensible and unbelievable. Just ask any one from the Cincinnati area who has dealt with them.
