Rudley has been leading the charge to get the attention of NCAA to let them know that “one size doesn’t fit all,” as it relates to resources, infractions, sanctions, etc. Rudley is pleased to have the opportunity to lead and work with this group.
“The goal of increasing the graduation and completion rates for student athletes is strongly supported by every college president. The issue is how quickly can institutions with limited resources, such as the HBCUs, add the infrastructure critical to making the improvements in Academic Performance Rate (APR),” said Rudley.
To date, the advisory group has provided recommendations to the CAP based on concerns that limited-resource institutions are at a disadvantage due to the amount of resources available to make academic changes to increase the APR. The transition recommendation allows limited-resource institutions—teams in the bottom 15 percent of all Division I member institutions in resources—more time to make meaningful change for academically underperforming teams. The LRI would have until 2016 to implement the APR minimum score of 930. This is an additional two years longer than the original NCAA proposal. The other recommendations support the ongoing APR improvement of limited-resource institutions and facilitate working towards meeting the established benchmark of a score of 930 for all teams.
