Is making the NCAA tourney a way to be placed on the NCAA APR list?

[JAG89]

Both TxSU and NCCU falls on this list along with 6 other teams in the tournament as being below the NCAA's APR standard.

I think what 89 is trying to say is when you make the NCAA tourney and this scrutiny of the teams for APR comes out in the media. Does it put the NCAA on alert to look at your program even more closely now that you have been outed in the media. Not saying they don't already know since they monitor the APR themselves. But you know how reactionary they get when the media starts focusing in on stuff and writing articles saying what a shame it is and this or that negative commentary.

But making the tourney is not a way to be placed on the APR list. You are already on it. LOL. Every year there is a story during Bowl Season or March Madness on schools and their academics of their players. Nothing new. I tell you what though, UCONN (Men's team) is really struggling with this APR to be such a basketball school. They already got deemed ineligible last year or so.

Will Ok State, Oregon or UCONN ever be banned?

UCONN was banned last year I believe. Even banned from the last Big East Tourney they had before teams split to other conferences. They had just won the National title not long before they got banned. I think they won in the 2010-2011 season when they had the Lamb kid that is playing with OKC Thunder.

Sure every school is already on the list, but it seems like the media focus more on those schools that are below the standard when they do make the tourney. Be it below or above standard, every school has an APR . In the title above, add the word "watch" before the word list.

The feds have bashed schools with low graduation rates for players but making the tourney the past few years too.

UConn was banned last year along with Valley, TSU and 17 other schools. They talked about it on PTI/ATH on ESPN. As Wilbon said on the show (remember it as clear as day), the only reason APR became a story was because of UCONN being on the list. All the other school were low level DI schools (about half were HBCUs)
