STILLWATER – Oklahoma State’s football program will take an APR hit today when the NCAA releases its latest numbers.The fallout: a loss of one practice day per week, according to a source within the athletic program.As first reported by GoPokes.com and confirmed through the university source, OSU’s APR – Academic Progress Rate – numbers will fall below the NCAA minimum requirement, which is 930 spanning a four-year period, or 940 over a two-year period.OSU fell a fraction of a point shy of avoiding penalty, with its number at 929.41 for the last four years. Had the Cowboys been at 929.50, the number would have been rounded up, meaning they missed by nine-one-hundreds of a point. The Cowboys avoided a more damaging postseason ban.The program’s numbers were actually improved from a year ago, when OSU scored 926 over four years, but the NCAA raised its minimums for this season, from 900 for four years and 930 for two years, to 930 and 940.The source said school officials anticipate that the penalty will be limited to one season, as the program has made adjustments resulting in significant improvements over the past two years. This reporting period spans the 2012-13, 2011-12, 2010-11 and 2009-10 school years, with the latter – one of the worst of the years calculated – falling off the books.

I would guess most college teams practice too much already so this is probably more of a competitive bonus than a punishment.

And K-State dominates yet another thing:D. Scott Fritchen ?@DScottFritchen 1mK-State leads APR among Big 12 in 5 sports: "The football team’s four-year score of .968 was also the best among all Big 12 schools." Wow.
If it were up to me, Wintz would be on a fan scholarship, full ride.

Wow.A bit misleading, given that...Led by men's basketball and volleyball's perfect 1,000-point four-year average, all 18 of KU's athletic programs came in well above the 930 mark that conveys programs in good standing according to the NCAA.Included among the four-year marks released today were five programs (men's basketball, volleyball, men's golf, women's basketball and women's tennis) that recorded perfect APR scores during the 2012-13 school year.So, at minimum, KU also "leads" the big 12 in at least 5 sports.

Guess that Laissez-Faire transfer policy came back to bite them in their assless chaps.
