Eleven Cornell Teams Honored By NCAA Academic Progress Report

Cornell was placed among the best according to the NCAA Division I Academic Progress Report for 2010-2011. The University had 11 teams honored ?? baseball, men?s and women?s basketball, fencing, field hockey, football, golf, gymnastics, men?s and women?s soccer and softball.

The APR ranking is measured by utilizing semester-by-semester records for every individual team in Division I with regard to each team members? continuing eligibility, retention and progress toward graduation.

The NCAA "commends" teams that have APR scores in the top 10 percent within their sport, with the necessary score ranging from 975 to a perfect 1000. A total of 131 Ivy League teams were "commended" for an average of 16.4 teams per school. Ivy teams comprised 13.7 percent of the 954 teams honored from across the Division I ranks. A team's APR is the total points earned divided by the total points possible.?

Since the start of the rankings, Cornell has had a total of 71 teams in 20 sports honored with public recognition.?
