Panther Student-Athletes Continue To Achieve High Marks In Classroom

Prairie View A&M University student-athletes continue to achieve high marks in the classroom as evidenced by the latest NCAA Academic Progress Report (APR) announced Wednesday.

In the 2016-17 report, seven PVAMU teams had perfect scores of 1000: Baseball, Men's Track & Field, Men's Cross Country, Men's Tennis, Softball, Women's Bowling and Women's Cross Country. It is the second consecutive year seven Panther athletics teams earned a perfect score.

All 18 Prairie View A&M athletics teams are above the NCAA mandated multi-year score of 930, and all 18 teams are again postseason eligible in the upcoming 2018-19 athletic year.

Panther Athletics was also awarded 14 delayed graduation points across multiple sports for the 2016-17 academic cycle. Delayed graduation points are points earned for a student-athlete that lost a point at any time during their matriculation.

A total of six teams increased single-year scores from 2015-16 to 2016-17: Baseball, Men's Basketball, Men's Cross Country, Men's Golf, Women's Soccer and Softball.

"Our student-athletes continue to win academically," said PVAMU Vice President and Director of Athletics Ashley Robinson. "Our department motto of 'All Out All Game All Season' begins with classroom success, which lays the foundation for competitive success as well as the foundation for professional success in life. President Dr. Ruth Simmons continues to provide key resources to benefit our student-athletes, as well as our compliance and academic services staffs and support their educational efforts. Our coaches are also to be commended for the vital role they play in stressing classroom achievement as well as competitive achievement. We are proud of their continued accomplishments in the classroom. This is another proud day for everyone in PVNation!"

Historically black colleges make gains on NCAA's APR report

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Athletes at historically black colleges and universities are making major gains in the classroom, according to the NCAA's latest Academic Progress Rate.


The single-year rate at HBCUs over the last five years has increased 34 points to 962 compared with a five-point gain at all other schools.

Overall, the four-year rate for all college athletes increased two points to 983. The APR measures classroom performance by using a points system that rewards athletes for staying in school and remaining academically eligible.

In addition, the number of programs facing postseason ineligibility because of consistently low scores dropped to nine — nearly half of what it was in 2017-18. Alabama A&M had four teams make the list and was the only school with more than one.
