On the same day Marcus Freeman went viral for a comment suggesting Ohio State doesn’t take academics as seriously as Notre Dame, data released by the NCAA provided evidence to the contrary.
The NCAA released updated Academic Progress Rate scores for every Division I team on Tuesday, and 16 Ohio State sports teams – including the football team – posted perfect scores for the 2020-21 academic year.
Ohio State’s baseball, women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s fencing, men’s and women’s golf, men’s gymnastics, men’s soccer, wrestling, women’s ice hockey, women’s swimming, women’s track and field, women’s volleyball and rifle teams also achieved perfect scores of 1,000 for 2020-21.
