I'm in favor of some kind of academic standards but I've always believed that it's not fair to include the stats of kids who leave or get booted. For many of them, that's why they left or got booted. Also, when kids leave early for the NFL, does that get factored in? If so, I don't like that either.
They aren't factored in if they leave in good academic standing. They are if they left in bad academic standing, no matter the reason they leave. The school can file a petition on this if there are special circumstances, though, and I think UT has done this in the past and will probably do this in the future.
APR of 930 is a very high standard when you consider that 2-year retention rates (ie, the % of students entering as freshmen that remain enrolled as juniors) for the university as a whole are something like 75%. They expect athletes to fair much better despite the extra time burdens of their sports participation.
