UM, MSU football programs post highest APR scores

The football programs at Michigan and Michigan State both posted their highest Academic Progress Rate scores since the NCAA introduced the system in 2003.

Michigan's score was 990 for the 2013-14 academic year and MSU's was 973.

The Academic Progress Rate (APR) formula measures classroom performance of Division I athletic programs.

Scores are calculated for each team at each school. An athlete receives one point each semester for being academically eligible and another point each semester for staying in school. A perfect score is 1,000.

Programs that do not meet a benchmark minimum score of 930 could be subject to penalties such as reductions in practice time, competitions or financial aid, or coaching suspensions.

This NCAA database includes scores for every sport at every college program.

In men's basketball, Michigan earned a 995 score and MSU a 975.
