IU athletics surpass NCAA academic standards - Examiner.com

Seven Indiana University athletic programs earned pefect scores in the latest release by the NCAA of the Academic Progress Rate (APR) report. The APR measures both eligibility and retention of student-athletes competing on the Division 1 level.

The Hoosier squads recognized included: Tom Crean's men's basketball squad, seemingly over the hump after the Kelvin Sampson debacle,  men’s cross country, men’s golf, men’s swimming and diving, women’s swimming and diving, women’s tennis and women’s water polo.

Men’s golf, women’s tennis, men’s track and field and women’s track and field (tied) all have the top multiyear mark among their peers in the Big Ten conference.

In a IU release announcing the results, athletic director Fred Glass remarked, “I want to congratulate our student-athletes, coaches and staff for embracing this high priority for our department. These are successes of which all of Hoosier Nation should be proud of."
