Michigan's APR Scores
The latest APR scores were released today and Michigan did great:
The scores for Michigan were highlighted by the men’s basketball team, which scored a perfect 1,000 in both the multi-year APR and the 2010-11 single-year APR. The men’s basketball team was one of 10 Michigan sports to receive perfect APR scores for 2010-11, including the women’s basketball team.
Michigan men’s basketball is one of 11 schools -- and the only one in the Big Ten -- to have a perfect multi-year APR score.
The Michigan football team had a single-year APR of 984 and a multi-year APR of 943. The 984 was the highest Hoke has had as a head coach, dating to his time at Ball State.
For John Beilein, it was the third time in the past four seasons his team has landed a perfect 1,000 on the APR.
It's great to see Michigan sports doing so well, academically. The multi-year APR for the football team should go up, as the attrition from the transition from RR to Hoke finally settles down. Full APR numbers for all the sports are found at the link below:

It's really remarkable top to bottom of what Brady Hoke has accomplished. I'm embarassed but will admit I was among those who were underwhelmed by the hire.
Glad I was mistaken.
Not me, I liked him from the start.
And lord knows I have no interest in the debate crap that won't stop on this board... but... Brady Hoke was not the coach for the 2010-2011 season. That was while RichRod was still here. Please... make your pitchforks dull and your fires safe when you come after me... >.>
EDIT: Reread original post... and very confused, why would Hoke get credit for the APR When he wasn't hired until January 2011?
the men's soccer team. What's going on over there?
Also, is the lax team except from these for the first few years of D1? Odd to see them not listed at all.
Those seem pretty good. It would be nice to seem Michigan compared to the rest of the B10 and then see how some of the other schools in the nation have done as well. Thanks for the link.
EDIT: here is link with other B10 schools.

Warning: Don't look at number two position....might cause one to question everything we know to be good in the world.
APR was a weekly topic. Nice to not have to worry about that anymore.
You obviously haven't been paying attention in class.
As a result, you've damaged MGoBlog's APR (Asshole Prevention Rate). I hope you're happy.
From a talented (and handsome) young writer named Brian Cook, from two years and eleven days ago:
If Michigan has a terrible retention rate and a good eligibility rate, the problem is solely the flood of Carr-to-Rodriguez transfers. If the eligibility rate is poor, that would not be good.
That would not be due to Rodriguez's recruiting. Since the numbers are from last year, the only RR recruits on the team were the scattered late adds to the 2008 class and the 2009 freshmen. Of those players, only Justin Feagin and Taylor Hill have left, and Hill might not even count since he left the team so quickly he probably beat the drop/add deadline. Feagin played last year at Texas Southern.
Not that tomorrow's newspaper articles will mention anything but the 897.

So there, shit-for-brains. Thanks for bringing down the curve.
APR was a weekly topic during that period of high transfers. I recall multi mail bag questions on it and forum topics. That said it didn't need to be brought up here. Section 1 also didn't need to start with the name calling. Just mod the comment down and move on people.
As a general meta, I advocate that when people needlessly mention the dark period, just select "Overrated", hit the vote button and move on. These discussions have nowhere to go but flame wars and deletion by the mods.
Take one to know one, huh? Come on man...
You must be awful to know in real life.
What to do with you. Always mercurial, typically ornery, but usually civil. Calling someone "Shit-for-brains" isn't acceptable. This isn't Nam. There are rules.
As to the point, it may not have been necessary to say that we had APR problems "when RichRod was here," but it's an absolute fact. We had regular discussions about APR when RichRod was here. It may not have been his FAULT, but that wasn't the assertion. He mentioned a correlation, and you jumped to causation.
Points asploded for one week. Play nice.
Section One is up there with Barking Sphincter and BRCE as posters who come to MGO as an outlet for their inner turmoil
Oh, man. I've seen this before. Section 1 is approaching critical mass. The meltdown can't be too far off.
I read that the tougher APR rules were pushed out to 2015. We should be all set with Hoke in charge.
I read that 8 FBS football programs were under the 930 min, including Louisville, UTEP, LA-Monroe, & Oklahoma State. Not sure who the others are.
...not so hot.
...not so new.
Agreed, not breaking news by any means. But UConn mens hoops not being eligible for the 2013 tourney did make the ESPN front page today, so I thought it was marginally relevant:

Maybe I should've boldly stated "Cal State Bakersfield not eligible for 2013 NCAA basketball tourney due to low APR scores".
Fair enough, and I know the MgoCommunity as a whole is not that interested in basketball. But I remember fairly widespread discussion about Alex Oriakhi transferring from UConn a while ago due to the impending ineligibility. Also, thanks for letting us know about CSUB, I had no idea.
So our APR didn't take a hit when Manny Harris and Darius Morris went pro and Laval Lucas-Perry transferred? I thought any kind of attrition hurt.
But I believe it's only a problem if they leave while academically ineligible.
This is my understanding as well. Oh, the joy of one-year renewable scholarships!
