College Hoops Thread '09-'10

The NCAA is sanctioning 137 schools due to a low Academic Progress Rate, but only 7 of these schools are in BCS conferences. Furthermore, in regards to the 3 highest-profile sports - football and men's and women's basketball - only 2 schools stand to get penalized. Colorado will lose one scholarship in men's basketball (as if that matters, since the Buffaloes are not much of a factor there) and four in football (a somewhat different matter, as they do "compete" on the gridiron - on occasion). But the BIG one may be Syracuse. The Orange may lose up to two scholarships, if academically ineligible players leave the school before next season.

"The APR measures the classroom performance of every Division 1 team and is based on data collected from 2005-06 through 2008-09." So, if you are wondering why whatever school you love to hate is NOT on this elect list . . . just wait.
