APR scores will be keeping the Bengals out of the playoffs this year. Yikes! Saw this fly across Twitter from the Idaho Statesmen.

Man, I even had a funny quip in that one. Is there anyway to ban mods?

Kind of redundant, isn't it? It's almost like they had a self-imposed ban on the playoffs already.

Southern was banned from the postseason as well, but since they don't go to playoffs and didn't have a shot in hell of winning the SWAC.

Remember, ISU's APR challenges have less to do with academics and more to do with attrition. Winning three games in three years will do that to a team. Idaho State will improve on the field and in the classroom with Mike Kramer as the HC, mark that down and make some jokes about this fact.
Finally, remember 925 is the baseline score. Before poking too much fun at others, take notice at the Grizzlies four year average. If the Griz cough the wrong way, you might end up in the same boat as some of your other conference mates. Just saying...

I don't think anyone on this board doubts that Karmer will get things in order for ISU*.
*So long as ISU's admin also commits to providing support.

ECB has no place in ISU sports.

I have no doubts. Great pick-up for ISU. Kramer will turn that program right around and get it winning again.

Yeah, but, Chaz, doesn't that mean they're out of the Bayou Classic, too?

I dislike the APR because I think it sets unreasonable standards. Schools should not be obligated to ensure that athletes do better than groups of equivalent demographic nature in the general student body. But that's what the APR system does. It sucks.
