Idaho football’s APR once again falls below standard
The Idaho football team could be facing more APR-related sanctions.
The academic progress rate scores for schools were released Wednesday and Idaho’s football score was once again low. The Vandals had an APR of 896 in 2013-2014, the fourth-straight year the team’s APR has been below the 930 mark.
Teams must have a four-year average above 930 to avoid penalties. It’s Idaho’s fourth-straight year of having an average below 930.
Idaho was banned from the 2014 postseason because of low APR scores and it’s feasible to think a bowl ban could be in the offing again in the future. Though we’re probably obligated to say (again) that it’d take a big turnaround for the Vandals to get bowl eligible in the first place (UNLV was also banned for the 2014 postseason).
After 1-11 seasons in 2012 and 2013, Idaho was 1-10. The Vandals’ game at Florida was canceled at the beginning of 2014. In March, Idaho said it’d be eligible for the postseason in 2015 and that it’s current single-year APR was expected to be in the 960s.
Idaho also had the lowest APR score of any FBS school. Here are the newest APR four-year averages for each FBS school with 2013-2014 included.
