HOUSTON (AP) — Stephen F. Austin avoided postseason bans for low scores on the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate on Wednesday by agreeing to several sanctions including probation, scholarship reductions and the forfeiture of wins.
Stephen F. Austin’s football, men’s basketball and baseball teams were on a nationwide list released Tuesday that could have faced bans for posting a four-year score below 930. The scores are based on academic eligibility, graduation and retention. Athletes receive one point a semester by remaining academically eligible and another if they graduate or come back to school for the next term.
