Sorry If this has already been discussed. With all of the players leaving the team, will it hurt our APR and could it cause is to lose scholarships?

Give Kiffin credit, he ain't fooling around. I don't believe we are going to see anymore hand clapping and butt smacking after a horrid play anymore.

I agree, you have to love the discipline he is bringing to this team. I'm glad to see that he is kicking off players for not meeting expectations. No more BS from TN.

Here you go, wiki article on APR, also known as Academic Progress Rate in the NCAA:

Academic Progress Rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Academic Progress Rate (also known as APR) is a metric established by the NCAA to measure the success or failure of collegiate athletic teams in moving student-athletes towards graduation. It was instituted in February of 2005. In its first season of usage, three sports - football, basketball, and baseball - posted average APR scores below the NCAA-determined minimum level.

Collegiate sports teams that fail to achieve an APR score of 925 - equivalent to a 50% graduation rate - may be penalized with the loss of scholarships. A perfect score is 1000. The scores are calculated as follows:

The APR is calculated by allocating points for eligibility and retention -- the two factors that research identifies as the best indicators of graduation. Each player on a given roster earns a maximum of two points per term, one for being academically eligible and one for staying with the institution. A team's APR is the total points of a team's roster at a given time divided by the total points possible. Since this results in a decimal number, the CAP decided to multiply it by 1,000 for ease of reference. Thus, a raw APR score of .925 translates into the 925 that will become the standard terminology.[1]
The first penalties under the APR system were scheduled to be announced in December 2005.

The APR is designed to measure semester-by-semester academic progress, and is separate from the Graduation Success Rate (GSR), which only aims to measure the actual percentage of student-athletes who graduate, thus omitting students who would have graduated but left school early for non-academic reasons (such as a professional career).
