The Academic Progress Rate, or APR, has once again been released by the NCAA – it measures the improvements and academic success for each school for the 2018-2019 school year.

And why do you care about the APR? It shows the commitment by each school to improving the academic side of the football programs. It also matters to the bowl world.

If there aren’t enough teams that finish with a bowl-eligible six wins, the teams that finish 5-7 are allowed to be taken based on their respective APR rankings below.

Which football schools are doing the best job at putting the college in college football?

From the NCAA, the APR is calculated as follows:

  • Each student-athlete receiving athletically related financial aid earns one point for staying in school and one point for being academically eligible.
  • A team’s total points are divided by points possible and then multiplied by 1,000 to equal the team’s Academic Progress Rate.
  • In addition to a team’s current-year APR, its rolling four-year APR is also used to determine accountability.
