Ole Miss Athletics Again Ties Overall APR Record
6/4/2024 | Student-Athlete Development
INDIANAPOLIS – Ole Miss Athletics has tied its department APR record for the third straight season, tallying a multi-year average of 992 in the annual APR release by the NCAA on Tuesday. Ole Miss stands at plus-8 over the national average, which also held this year at 984.
Six Rebel teams currently have a perfect multi-year APR score of 1,000: women's basketball, women's cross country, men's golf, rifle, soccer and women's track & field. Of the 16 sports at Ole Miss, 10 posted perfect single-season scores of 1,000: women's cross country, women's golf, men's golf, rifle, soccer, softball, women's tennis, men's tennis, women's track & field and volleyball. As a department, Ole Miss scored a single-season 990 for the 2022-23 season.
The APR, created to provide more of a real-time measurement of academic success than graduation rates offer, is a team-based metric where scholarship student-athletes earn one point each term for remaining eligible and one point for staying in school or graduating. Schools that don't offer scholarships track their recruited student-athletes.
Every Division I sports team submits data to have its Academic Progress Rate calculated each academic year. The NCAA reports both single-year rates and four-year rates, on which penalties for poor academic performance are based. National aggregates are based on all teams with usable, member-provided data. APRs for each team and those receiving sanctions are available online through the NCAA's searchable database.
This is the third consecutive year of publicly reported APRs after a one-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, the Division I board approved the release of APR scores but voted to continue the suspension of program penalties. After further review, the Committee on Academics is not enforcing the loss of access to postseason competition for teams that have scored lower than 930. Instead, a conditional waiver is being offered this year due to lingering impacts of COVID-19.
