Badgers sports: Three Wisconsin sports teams earn NCAA APR awards

The University of Wisconsin football, volleyball and women's golf teams received NCAA Academic Progress Rate awards, the organization announced on Wednesday.

Based on their most recent multiyear Academic Progress Rate, the three UW teams posted scores in the top 10 percent of their sport. The APR is an annual scorecard of academic achievement calculated for all Division I sports teams nationally.

This marked the fourth consecutive year UW football has earned an academic award from the NCAA. The Badgers join Clemson, Duke, Northwestern and Stanford as the only FBS football teams to earn APR Public Recognition Awards in each of the last four years.
