It looks like they are targeting ECU basketball, but their football program with regards to academics is a joke, they sweep in and take all of ours and UNC's non qualifiers, and I think they can still enroll partial qualifiers, no one in the ACC can.

sorry guys, heres the text:

Quote :

"The NCAA stepped up a crackdown on academics Wednesday, subjecting 81 poor-performing teams to immediate scholarship reductions and flagging more than four dozen as chronic offenders that could be hit with harsher sanctions a year from now. Four football teams coming off bowl appearances — Hawaii, Western Michigan, Middle Tennessee State and San Jose State — and I-AA playoff qualifiers Montana State and Hampton are among 23 football teams facing the scholarship restrictions. Among 20 affected baseball teams is No. 25 College of Charleston. Cincinnati and Iowa State are the most prominent of 14 affected men's basketball teams. SPORTS SCOPE: Full report, school-by-school numbers, Katrina effect The programs are prohibited from replacing varying numbers of scholarship players who leave while academically ineligible. The penalties are tied to academic progress rates (APRs) computed for each of the 6,110 teams that compete in the NCAA's Division I. FIND MORE STORIES IN: Wednesday | NCAA | APR | APRS Wednesday's was the third set of annual APR scores, which the association says is enough to identify 49 problem programs at 34 different schools that must show improvement or face a second phase of sanctions next spring. Each scholarship player on each team generally can earn two APR points per semester for remaining at the school and academically eligible, and the NCAA has determined that teams should hit 92.5% of their possible total — an APR of 925 — or face the initial scholarship sanctions. A 925 roughly projects a 60% graduation rate. The second-stage penalties target teams that post even lower APRs: below 900. Fail to show improvement or obtain a waiver, and the sub-900 teams will face a 10% or greater cut in scholarships and loss of one day of practice a week during the season. That's starting in 2008. Teams that have shown improvement will draw lighter slaps: a 5% or greater cut in scholarships and reduction in practice time by four hours per week. For programs that continue to lag, the NCAA will start handing out postseason bans in 2009. "

How the hell can your golf team be a bunch of dumbasses?

5/2/2007 11:40:02 PM

^golfers, from my experience, are lconsistently similar to your typical baseball players


i hope that explains it

5/2/2007 11:43:26 PM

plus, they are in Alabama, which doesnt exactly pump out Nobel Prize winners

5/2/2007 11:45:32 PM

in my experience most golfers are alcoholics

5/2/2007 11:46:01 PM

most golfers are former baseball players....and most if all love to drink. Just like the ones who made it in baseball still LOVE to play golf and drink beer on their time off.

5/3/2007 12:30:56 AM

ecu can take partial qualifiers, but I don't think c-usa teams can take non qualifiers.

5/3/2007 9:35:32 AM

^ that doesn't make sense

WRONG. Most golfers are not former baseball players. Especially the ones that compete at the college level.

5/3/2007 6:56:35 PM

^^ sure it does

partial qualifier != non-qualifier

5/3/2007 7:26:14 PM

i use to coach a kid goin to ECU on a bball scholarship. i wonder if this affects him.

5/3/2007 7:37:28 PM

most golfers are former baseball players like most athletes in america played little league baseball... that's about it.

5/3/2007 7:43:58 PM

I wonder if this will be the last nail in the coffin of ECU's men's bball coach?

5/3/2007 7:45:31 PM

good job for the women's bball team, 12th rank

There is no such thing as partial qualifiers. They did away with that shit like 5 years ago.

5/3/2007 7:51:29 PM

5/4/2007 1:02:18 AM
