Actually, I'm curious as to how much progress UT can make towards compliance in a single year. this year's penalty had a minimal practical effect (we'll see how it plays out from a PR standpoint) but falling below 925 next year could be much more problematic.

Why would you not care about Toledo's basketball score, but do care about Toledo's football score? Do you just want to see Toledo fail and look bad? As a member of the same conference, that doesn't help BG at all.

By the way, Ohio State scored about an 850 at the last APR for football. This time they were exactly 925. Interesting, huh?

because we don't really have a men's basketball team...

If you'd taken the time to read my earlier comments, you'd see that I addressed the impact of this mess on the conference a sa whiole.

Ouch. I was thinking the same thing at Toledo until about 3 weeks ago.

From the Columbus Dispatch

OSU faculty representive John Bruno said the football team’s improvement was helped by OSU winning an appeals process that took into account players who left school early for the NFL.

But both he and Smith also credited coach Jim Tressel.

"Compared to what he had when he first came here, Jim’s teams have made unbelievable improvement," Smith said. "He is creating a culture where eligibility is not the goal, but you want to be a 3.0 (grade-point average) player."

I'm sorry, but a graduation rate should not include those who leave early to go to the pro's. If you do not graduate, you do not graduate and you count against the graduation rate.

I didn't mean for my post to sound like gloating. It was just the number of posts trying to minimize the fact that Toledo is on the list. For future recruiting, I don't see much of a difference between saying you lost nine scholarships (Temple) or you lost 1 or 2. Just being on the list is going to hurt your school.

temple lost 3 more than anyone else...that looks really bad,

Also will teams like BG start saving schollies expecting teams like OSU to not be able to actually offer allof theior schollies and have us pick up a guy late who is dropped?
