The Maryland football team, penalized last year for poor academic performance, has made the grade in the most recent APR (academic progress rate) figures released Wednesday by the NCAA. The Terps pulled up their single-year score from 905 to 972, and multi-year score from 922 to 931, to avoid postseason or scholarship-reduction penalties. Last year the Terps were docked three scholarships for poor academic performance, as their 922 APR was three points below the cut.
These are the multi-year APRs for other football teams in Maryland, Virginia, and the District – Georgetown (982), William & Mary (976), Navy (973), Virginia Tech (968), Richmond (962), VMI (951), Towson (948), Virginia (944), Liberty (943), James Madison (939), Norfolk State (937), Howard (926), Morgan State (919), and Old Dominion (917). Hampton (881) will be ineligible for the FCS playoffs.
