The WSJ rates 125 division 1 programs. Like the BCG matrix, you don't want to be in the bottom left quadrant. Five criteria are used including the number of player arrests and the subjective "ick" factor. It's a pretty sad state of affairs when arrests can be used for comparison.
APR is one of the five, but, as we know, it doesn't mean the same thing across institutions when you have sham courses such as those at Chapel Hill; or a culture which will find a way to progress players academically one way or another.
Clemson moved way up from 2012 as a top performer on and off the field. I don't follow ACC football except Duke by and large. For those more in the know, does its rating make sense?
