Rutgers football APR slightly dips, still terrific

+

Whoops, we're #2. One year after finishing first overall in the NCAA's official Academic Progress Rate rankings, Rutgers dipped to second as their four-year rolling average fell by a hair from 992 to 988. That's pretty much a drop in the bucket. Rutgers once again leads the Big East football teams by a considerable amount. More worrisome is that men's basketball dropped from 963 to 948. This year's rolling average added 2009-2010 and dropped 2005-2006, so the difference likely has a lot to do with the chaos and slew of transfers surrounding Fred Hill's departure. But hey, we're not the transfer mill known as UConn men's basketball, so it's still more than a passable number.
