The magic number is 925 I believe. Each kid who starts out the year on ship earnes 2 points for remaining and being eligible ( having satisfied some minimum requirements ). The total points earned is divided by the total possible and then that is multiplied by 1000 ( from what I gather ).
If your 4-year running total dips below 925 you are subject to penalties. I believe that we first slipped below it last year ( in no small part because of Oden's 2 point loss since he didn't finish the year and didn't stay eligible BOTH by quitting mid-quarter in the Spring ). But the AD weaseled their way out of a penalty by submitting a plan for improving and whatever other BS they had to say to get "a pass" for that year ( 2008-2009 school year based on the 4 years before ).
So they got out of it but then their "plan for improvement" etc. were obliterated by KK doing the same THING a year later on them. SO now they not only can't weasel out of it again ( thus facing a 1 bagger for sure ) but may get dinged for not holding up their end of the "weasel contract" that got them out of a one ship penalty last season. My take is they may want to try to get out of further penalty by suffering a 2-bagger this coming year and hoping that will "satisfy the hunger" of the APR beast! LMFAO It is all a big STUPID IDIOTIC GAME to give more people fake jobs and create less opportunities for kids. NCAA at its finest!
What I'm not sure of is how they can escape future penalty. Both Crater and BJM left early ( even tho both were in fine shape eligibility/GPA-wise from what I gather ) so they lose two more points again ( one each instead of two for KK or GO ). But you'd think it'd still weigh down the APR number. Maybe they finally ditch Mayes' cargo so its a wash or something. I thought "team GPA" would help but it doesn't seem to mean anything to the 925 formula - only individual points earned does.
It's such a silly mess! They pull ships that could go to kids as some retroactive punishment for losing kids earlier ( when most, in our case, are leaving for the NBA ). How about cleaning up the TRUE SLEAZE and the coaches booting players ( did I read that MN terminated 2 guys before their eligibility was used up? ) and stop with the limiting opps BS? The NCAA blows! They emphasize parity, cost-cutting by lowering ships, punishments for silly things and loopholes for truly sleazy ploys, making work so their staff/size remains HUGE etc. It's a sad JOKE and they should blow up the book and start fresh!
