The Boise State football team, which has often been one of the top performers in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate (APR), posted another solid score in the latest report, which came out Wednesday.
Football’s multi-year APR, which covers a span from 2012-16 academic years, was 979, second-best in the Mountain West behind Air Force’s 995. The Broncos’ score is tied for 27th-best in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Their single year score for 2015-16 was 968, a dip from the 991 posted the previous year.
APR is calculated on a scale of up to 1,000 that measures retention of athletes and their ability to eventually graduate.
