INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – The NCAA is penalizing Colorado’s men’s basketball and football teams, as well as the Syracuse men’s basketball team, after the three squads failed to meet academic standards.
Syracuse and Colorado are the only BCS schools in football or men’s and women’s basketball being sanctioned for falling short of the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate cutline of 925.
The APR measures the classroom performance of every Division I team.
A Colorado official says the school has accepted its penalties – losing one scholarship in men’s basketball and up to four scholarships in football. The Buffaloes scored 920 in football and 897 in basketball.
The Orange’s basketball team scored 912 and could lose up to two basketball scholarships if academically ineligible players leave school before next season.
