In reading the release one of the many scary parts to me is the following:

In the two-year aggregate APR, a total of 728 teams met the 925 benchmark only because of the squad-size adjustment. Lennon said institutions shouldn’t rely on the adjustment as a safety net.

“Teams that use the squad-size adjustment to escape penalty rather than improve their academic practices right away might find the ‘pay me later’ syndrome hard to accept,” Lennon said. “As more years of APR data become available, teams will find scores harder to change. For example, an APR of 890 with four years of data and no squad-size adjustment is a hard score to recover from when only one year of data changes each year in the four-year rolling average.”

Using the two-year aggregate APR as an example, the percentage of teams below 925 without the squad-size adjustment jumps from 3.4 percent to 15.4 percent. The difference is even more dramatic in certain sports — in men’s basketball, for example, only 37 teams (11.3 percent) fell below 925 with the squad-size adjustment included. Without it, that number goes to 137 (42 percent). In football, the jump is from 43 (18.3 percent) to 96 (40.9 percent); in baseball, it’s from 40 (14.1 percent) to 111 (39.2 percent).

there is a thread going in the Texas forum concerning this..thought you might be interested
