The Vols' football score of 931, ranked last in the SEC and declined for the fourth consecutive year. Among BCS conference schools, only Louisville (911) and Oklahoma State (928) were lower. The APR is a predictor of graduation success factoring eligibility and retention of scholarship athletes. The score is based on a rolling four-year period. The report released Wednesday was for the period beginning in 2007-08 and ending in 2010-11. Teams lose points for athletes who leave the program and more points for athletes who leave not in good academic standing.
The latter is the dreaded "0-for-2" category. The NCAA's cutoff line for sanctions is 925.
UT's low score for football probably reflects the turnover in head coaches and player attrition during the four-year period of the latest report.
