  1. How did we improve from last year or, say, 5 years ago for the same men’s sports? Are the mediocre scores due to guys living early to the pros or flunk outs? What is the primary reason for those unimpressive scores?

    • Mediocre scores are due, in part, to the sanctions. It’s complicated, and I remember reading a Dan Weber article about how the rolling averages were affected by limited scholarship numbers. When Abe Markowitz didn’t graduate when he was supposed to, it dropped USC’s APR by 10 points or so.

      Weber’s analysis may have been correct, he may not have been correct, but you will never know reading this here dog-and-pony-show blog.

  2. Well done Wolf – don’t mention that SC’s scores for football and basketball are above the national average. Just try to highlight that they’re toward the lower end of the Pac 12.

  3. Wolf,
    Please explain more about UCLA being 19 points lower than USC and next to last in the conference in basketball. Is Billy Don Jackson playing basketball there now?

  4. Had the APR been below 930, then they have a problem.. 5 USC sports teams were at 1000 .. The football team sits at 968.. I would say that is pretty good considering the avg GPA for the football team is 3.3 verses Ucla at a horrific 2.6… ✌

  5. I’d like to know how they figure that out. Is it just GPA? Some schools are tough in grading and other schools have ‘grade inflation’ which means that everyone gets at least an A or a B. Anything less would hurt their self-esteem. Stanford and Washington are good academic schools. But Arizona state? I remember Vontez Burfect was committed to SC. That was his dream school since he was small. Then he took a trip to the arizona schools and they convinced him that he didn’t have the grades to get into SC. They were right. He went to ASU where they accept anyone.
