Five Toledo sports post perfect 1,000 marks with eight programs ranking among Top Three in the MAC
TOLEDO, Ohio - The NCAA released its annual Academic Progress Rate (APR) figures today for the four-year period from 2019-20 to 2022-23, and the University of Toledo once again received very impressive scores across the board.
All 16 Rocket varsity sports had at least a 970 score, well above the NCAA's "cut point" of 930, with Men's Golf, Women's Basketball, Women's Soccer, Women's Tennis and Women's Volleyball leading the way with perfect 1000 marks. These five sports had either the highest APR score or were tied for the highest score in the Mid-American Conference. In addition, Men's Basketball ranked second, Softball was tied for second, and Football was third in the MAC.
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 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 school years.
