Good job, Mean Green. For most of us, Mean Green athlete's academics are just as important as Mean Green athletic wins-and-losses!

Funny, I would have expected Troy to be on the lost scholly list. Considering their recruiting techniques

If you want to find anything good from the Todd Dodge era at UNT, look at this. He may have failed miserably on the field, but at least the APR problems that started from the latter DD years seem to have been completely rectified. Coach Mac certainly won't have to deal with this issue the way Dodge had to. It might be a small silver lining to a dark cloud, but at least its something!!

I've tried to be patient regarding ULM, but this is a big blow for them and frankly the SBC. Texas State is starting to look like a much more attractive option to this fan. I would be interested to hear Wright Waters thoughts on this.

I might be wrong, but I think Troy has an exemption based on a economic condition provision??

Did the government take over the NCAA or something?... Troy should have to play by the same rules as everyone else.

Right there with ya Harry

Amen! Tech is smelling like a rose on this one.

I would also be interested in RV and Dr. Rawlin's opinion on this. My guess is that they - like me - aren't happy about the fact that ULM deals with their financial issues with cheating. Frankly, I have stood by Monroe but the La. Tech fans are starting to make a helluva lot of sense to me in terms of their position on Monroe.

I don't know. Coach McCarney said at the Plano stop that there were 40 players with a GPA below 2.0 when he arrived. By the end of the semester, there were only seven. He let on that there were some problems during the Dodge Era that would never be aired because he'd make sure the academics were in line. Said they were digging out of a hole on and off the field, but that they'd do it.

Digging into the numbers, you'll see that we're still below the norm among Division I schools - both FBS and FCS. Also, our percentile wasn't high compared to all other schools' football programs, 20-30th - well below the midrange. When compared to all other sports, the percentile drops to 1-10th percentile. That's just a step above getting the job done, not knocking it out of the park.

I think McCarney's insight is closer to true. We were one player or so away from going 925 or below. This still needs work, and I'm glad we've got someone on board who is working on it.

Golf, Softball, Swimming, Tennis, Volleyball, and Cross Country are doing really well, better than average with tennis and cross country in the 90-100th percentile and golf and softball in the 80-90th percentile.

Kudos to tennis and XC squads for perfecto multi-year scores!

7 of our programs had their highest marks ever, and all 10 of the men's programs showed improvement.

Man, that is both sad and scary that we are still this close to being punished for APR.
