Air Force finished first among Mountain West football teams with a Academic Progress Rate score of 978 for the 2009-10 school year, edging out TCU at 972 and Utah’s score of 956. Last week, Air Force football, women’s cross country, wrestling and women’s track received Division I Academic Performance Public Recognition Awards.
Football coach Troy Calhoun should be happy with topping the Mountain West, although knowing Calhoun and how seriously he takes the APR, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was upset that the Falcons’ score dipped a bit. Air Force football’s APR scores were 983 and 988 the past two years.
Although they aren’t in the MWC yet – I was surprised to see that Boise State racked up a 981, topping everyone. You have to applaud their effort, and seriousness of thier coaches, but I don’t think Boise players are taking anywhere near as many difficult courses as an AFA, or some of the other perennial APR favorites.
Just as the NCAA punishes teams with low APR’s by taking away scholarships – they should reward schools in the Top 10 with a few extra scholarships.
