NCAA Recognizes Five League Members
ALBANY, N.Y. – Five League teams -- Brown, Colgate,
Rensselaer, St. Lawrence and Yale -- are among nearly 800 Division
I sports teams recognized for top academic performance as part of
the NCAA’s academic reform program. In total, eight Division
I men’s hockey programs were recognized.
The NCAA Public Recognition Awards are given each year to teams
scoring in the top 10 percent in each sport with their APRs.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team’s academic
success each semester or quarter by tracking the academic progress
of each student-athlete. The APR includes eligibility, retention,
and graduation in the calculation and provides a clear picture of
the academic culture in each sport.
High-performing teams receiving public recognition awards this
year posted APR scores ranging from 976 to a perfect 1,000.
