So in an effort to ensure they meet the APR guidelines, we choose to risk injury by reducing the amount of preperation.

I would say Auburn, but they're pretty well-known for cooking the books..

I can't even imagine how that's going to impact preparations. Maybe we'll get a Gundy rant about it when they ask him though

I think the article said it did not include a bowl ban.
I would hope the missed practice is replaced by required study time, tutoring, etc.

Losing 1/6th of your alloted practice time will take care of the bowl ban thing.
ETA: I guess it would 1/5th of the practice time, since the game counts as a participation day.

I'm sure that is the intent...now whether this the outcome...

Just seems I read somewhere APR can effect bowl eligibility, wondering if anyone knew for sure. Maybe it takes a really low score, dunno.

not really. money and exposure are probably far more important to schools in the long run.

Its supposed to.
Maybe I just missed it but every other school that has gotten in trouble seems to have gotten a bowl ban. I had no idea there were different levels of punishment. I do know UNLV and Idaho have bowl bans this year b/c of APR.
Maybe the rumors that so many were getting suspended are true and the NCAA panicked b/c they knew that would make it nearly impossible for the bowls to have enough teams.

Tennessee?
Tennessee football APR falls dangerously low.
Tennessee football APR falls dangerously low.

KNOXVILLE – For the second consecutive year, Tennessee’s football program finds itself at the bottom of the SEC in Academic Progress Rate (APR) scoring with a tally of 909 from the 2011-12 academic year.
The Vols are now in serious jeopardy of facing NCAA penalties if they don't show major improvement soon.
The APR, now in its ninth year, measures the eligibility and retention of scholarship student-athletes competing on every Division I athletics team, measuring progress toward degrees while also serving as a predictor of graduation success.
Per the NCAA's website, each student-athlete receiving athletically related financial aid earns one retention point for staying in school and one eligibility point for being academically eligible. A team’s total points are divided by points possible and then multiplied by 1,000 to equal the team’s APR score.
Every team is scored on a scale that goes up to 1,000 for each year and for the four previous years combined (known as the multi-year score). Teams that fall below 900 in the multi-year standard are subject to NCAA penalties such as a postseason ban and reduced practice time.
That standard is being raised to 930 beginning with the 2013-14 year, meaning UT must raise its multi-year score by next year (2014) to avoid the possibility of missing the postseason in 2014. The Vols received a 924 multi-year score from the last four years, a period of time that has seen three different head coaches for the football program – Lane Kiffin, Derek Dooley and current coach Butch Jones.
Jones has vowed to make improving academics a major part of his job. .....
