Academic Performance Rate (APR).

Regarding the link on the front page:

Turns out that Duke led not only the ACC in the number of teams that finished in the top 10% according to the APR formula, but actually tied with Notre Dame for first in the country

Congrats!

This is the type of thing that makes me proud to be a Duke fan! :-) Congrats to all the hardworking young men and women who truly are student-athletes!

It is this type of stuff I love to throw at our ESPN announcers, especially when their schools are doing terrible academically! Which is most of them. Thank you for posting!
Nice day my friends, Jim

Last year, our football team had high priority to still go to a bowl if we went 5-7 due to our APR. I wonder if the team is in the top-five (last year we were #2) again?
