The NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores for each Division I NCAA institution were released today. Fans should be proud of their Bearcats student-athletes as they posted a school record 979 over the four-year reporting period (ending in 2013-14 academic year).

Long story short, the APR has been in place as a way for the NCAA to better grade and assess the academic side of collegiate athletics using academic performance, eligibility, retention and graduation benchmarks.
