With the NCAA set to release the Academic Progress Rate (APR) statistics for the 2008-09 year today, Georgia Southern is preparing itself for good news. Five GSU athletics teams earned perfect single-year scores of 1000 for the period and 12 of the 15 total teams have exceeded the 925 benchmark for performance on the APR. The multi-year scores from last year’s data set to the current data set showed improvement for Georgia Southern programs across the board. Ten of the 15 teams increased their multi-year APR scores with two of the five programs missing last year’s number by a single point.
