TicketsCINCINNATI – Eleven Cincinnati athletics teams achieved perfect Academic Progress Rate scores in the latest NCAA report. It marks seven straight years of double-digit UC programs surpassing that mark.
Five UC teams accomplished the feat on the multi-year metric: Volleyball, men's cross country, women's cross country, men's golf and women's golf.
In addition to those with perfect scores, football (994) and men's track and field (994) led all Big 12 schools on a multi-year basis, meaning seven Bearcats programs boast the conference's best multi-year APR in their respective sport.
"Year after year, our student-athletes continue to set a high standard in the classroom, and this year's APR scores are a testament to that," said director of athletics John Cunningham. "What I'm most impressed by is the depth of our success, with 11 programs achieving a perfect mark. To have our football program lead the Big 12 in APR for a second straight year speaks volumes about the work our student-athletes and SASS team put forth at Cincinnati."
The APR provides a real-time measurement of a team's academic success by tracking eligibility and progress toward graduation of each student-athlete on scholarship.
The current data contains multi-year marks from the 2020-21 academic year through the 2023-24 academic year. The NCAA Division I Board of Directors states that teams must maintain a 930 four-year APR score to compete in 2025-26 postseason action and not face possible sanctions. This is the 21st year of the APR report, including the third-consecutive year after foregoing one report due to installment due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
