TOLEDO, Ohio - The NCAA released its annual Academic Progress Rate (APR) figures for the four-year period from 2020-21 and 2023-24, and the University of Toledo men's basketball program was at the top of the Mid-American Conference with an impressive score of 989.
Toledo also topped the MAC in the 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2021-22 campaigns. The Rockets have posted a 970 APR or higher in each of the past 10 years.
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 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 school years.
