The NCAA just released its latest round of Academic Progress Rate standings, and good news! Ohio State student-athletes are earning their degrees.
Remember, APR is not reflective of team cumulative GPA, but rather measures team progress towards degrees. (Teams need to stay above a 930 mark to stay out of trouble. A perfect score is 1000.)
