     Toledo, Ohio - The NCAA released its annual Academic Progress Rate (APR) figures for the four-year period from 2012-13 to 2015-16, and for the fourth consecutive year the University of Toledo football program had the highest score in the Mid-American Conference. The Rockets had an APR of 981, which is also the highest number in school history.
Â
     APR is a gauge of every team's academic performance at a given point in time. Points are awarded on a semester-by-semester basis for eligibility, retention and graduation of scholarship student-athletes. "1000" is considered a perfect score. Sports that fail to reach the "cut point" (930) can be penalized with the loss of scholarships, practice restrictions and post-season bans. The APR data released today is a cumulative figure taken from the 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 school years.
