Now see Cee I would normally LOL with you on this but MH has taught me how to do that high road bullshyt so as much as I want to die laughing at you right now I can't so I will just force out a "you wrong Cee" and leave it at that!

BTW Texas Southern is not eligible this year b/c of Benedict Cole not b/c of IAPR issue so officially as it stands only Grambling for the West and trust and mark my words even without Bama St Jackson is not in line for the East!

Wealth Gap Show in Latest NCAA Academic Numbers
May 14, 2014

by Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS ― The money gap at Division I colleges is continuing to show up on the playing fields and in the classrooms.

Thirty-six teams will be banned from the 2014-15 postseason because of sub-par scores on the newest Academic Progress Rate, which was released Wednesday. Not one of them comes from a power conference. And of the 17 football and men’s basketball teams, eight are from historically Black colleges and universities. Alabama State and Florida A&M made the list in both sports.

Even the NCAA recognizes the disparity now.

“While the low-resource institutions are overrepresented among the population (postseason bans) we’re talking about today, they’ve made improvement, they’ve made significant improvement as a group,” said Walter Harrison, chairman of the NCAA’s committee on academic performance. “They’re just starting at a lower spot. We’re trying to help them with some advice and some financing.”

The NCAA has awarded approximately $4.3 million over the last three years to low-resource schools, defined as those ranking in the bottom 15 percent in funding. The money is intended to help fund extra tutoring or other academic resources that could help keep student-athletes on track to graduate.

We took our medicine everyone else should. I never onced cried when our basketball team got banned even though i knew it wasn't about grades and it was about retention. The Presidents of our universities are typical, they are simply showing Sports before Academics.

That's the main point myself and the non-whiners are trying to point out to the "whoa is me crowd. We got banned in 2011 so everyone else should get banned as well".

Our basketball team got banned for two years and we never complained about it (we're no longer banned as the report shows so that's a good sign for whoever the new coach is can come in knowing they're eligible).

Football: Unless we get a waiver we'll be ineligible for at least another year (although as some have said it usually takes a couple years to show improvement. Improvements are being made as stated in the article)

Baseball: That's a very messy situation that is going to take a few years to fix. Reason: retention

About 10 years ago, Frank Deford had a commentary on NPR mentioning something like this. I tried to find it but have not yet.

It had to be about grades also.... if a person leaves in good academic standing it doesn't hurt that bad.... the ones that hurt are the ones who leave in bad academic standing. Our basketball team has lost a lot of players to transfers... but they were in good academic standing.

If they leave mid school year it is bad regardless of academic standing. If they leave after the spring semester in good standing there is no loss of APR points.

That's true. Difference is that most of the presidents who voted in 2011 are gone, so you have folks with different views on the situation voting now.
Click to expand...

Okay. Then the Presidents should go back and revisit the original vote in 2011. Don't just keep making exceptions every year. Change the stupid rule that never should have been put in place.

However...there does need to be some sort of punishment from the conference for these repeat offenders.
