Making the grade

Lost in the e-mail yesterday was this note from the NCAA.

UC Davis' men's water polo, women's soccer and women's tennis teams were publicly recognized for their academic performance. Those programs were among the 712 Division I teams that scored above 965 in the Academic Progress Rate. The APR is the way the NCAA measures academic progress, awarding individual teams points for athletes that stay eligible and enrolled in school. The NCAA calls 925 (which translates to 92.5 percent of all points and a 60 percent graduation rate) an acceptable score. Teams that fall below the mark face the loss of scholarships and other sanctions.

The NCAA will release its full report May 6.
