The University of New Mexico for the 12th consecutive year has every sport pass the standards set in NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR). Figures were released Tuesday.
New Mexico State did likewise, all of its sports exceeding the NCAA’s mininum APR academic standard for each program of 930.
This spring, the Division I Board of Directors voted to continue to suspend APR penalties – ranging from practice hours or postseason bans – for an additional year due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; however, it supported the public release of the APR data.
This year’s four-year rolling report, which includes up through the 2020-21 academic year, detailed that 11 of UNM’s 16 sports equal or better last year’s four-year score.
