transfer rates will be higher (for example, some of the student-athletes in the APR cohort are first-year
college students who may eventually transfer).

Outcomes for Squads Below the 930
APR Benchmark
Summary of Number of Teams Below APR
Penalty / Access to Postseason Benchmark
• Penalty overview:
– 59 of the 89 teams below 930 retain access to postseason and are exempt from
APR penalties. This is mostly due to relief provided to limited-resource
institutions during the transition to the 930 benchmark.
– 28 of the 89 teams will receive a level one, two or three penalty.
– A total of 21 teams lost access to postseason competition (two of which did not
receive a penalty).
• The majority of squads below 930 are from schools defined
as:
–
–
–
–
Limited-resource (84%)
HBCU (76%)
FCS (82%)
While the number of squads below 930 is significantly lower this year, those that
remain below the benchmark are concentrated among limited-resource

Technical Notes
Technical Notes
•
National aggregates include those schools whose data were deemed
usable by the date of publication (Southern University’s data excluded from
all slides).
•
Data displayed by primary conference affiliation (even if sport not
sponsored by the conference) except for football (displayed by football
conference affiliation).
•
APRs, eligibility rates and retention rates calculated as averages of squads
rather than point tabulations (so each squad contributing equally and to
avoid quarter school vs. semester school issues). Transfer rates calculated
by tabulating numbers of transfers across the conference and then turning
into a percentage.
•
Conference affiliation defined by 2014-15 AY membership.
