The NCAA released updated academic progress rate (APR) scores this week and Indiana’s multi-year score for men’s basketball was perfect for the third straight year.
The multi-year score released this week includes the 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24 academic years, including Archie Miller’s final season and Mike Woodson’s first three seasons.
For the 2023-24 academic year, IU men’s basketball was one of six athletic programs at the university to earn a perfect multi-year APR score of 1,000. The others were men’s tennis, women’s basketball, women’s cross country, women’s tennis and volleyball.
Among Big Ten men’s basketball programs, Maryland has the lowest multi-year APR score at 938.
Academy Progress Rate is a real-time measure of eligibility and retention of student-athletes competing on every Division I sports team.
Here are the current multi-year APR scores for Big Ten men’s basketball programs:
Indiana, 1,000
Minnesota, 1,000
Nebraska, 1,000
USC, 1,000
Northwestern, 991
Iowa, 983
Michigan State, 978
Michigan, 976
Purdue, 973
Rutgers, 973

According to the NCAA:
Each academic year, every Division I sports team’s APR is calculated using a simple and consistent formula. Scholarship student-athletes can earn 1 point for staying on course for a degree in their chosen major and 1 point for being retained (or graduating) at the end of each academic term. For schools that do not offer athletics scholarships, recruited student-athletes are tracked.
This is the fourth consecutive year of publicly reported APRs after a one-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, the Division I board approved the release of APR scores but voted to continue the suspension of program penalties. Normal Academic Performance Program operations with program penalties and loss of access to postseason competition were originally scheduled to resume in spring 2024, but the Division I Committee on Academics decided not to enforce the loss of access to postseason competition for teams that scored lower than 930 last year, instead offering a conditional waiver due to lingering impacts of the pandemic.
Historical APR data is available in the NCAA’s database.
