Since writing Kevin Love is withdrawing from classes and hiring agent Jeff Schwartz, I’ve received a number of inquiries about how this effects UCLA’s APR, the dreaded formula used by the NCAA to ensure schools are doing their best to keep kids focused in the classroom.
After doing some research, Love withdrawing from classes does negatively impact the APR. But UCLA’s APR four-year average is high enough (968) that it will not trigger any
scholarship penalties. The ninth week of the quarter begins Tuesday. A player must withdraw from classes much sooner to not effect the APR.
