NORMAN, Okla. -- The OU football program ranked No. 5 in the nation and No. 1 in the Big 12 Conference for college athletes who wanted the best showcase for their athletic talent and also the best opportunity of a quality college degree in a recent study by sociology professors.
The study ranked college sports programs on providing student-athletes wide national exposure and consistent progress towards a college degree.
The OU men's basketball prorgam ranked No. 15 in the nation and No. 2 in the Big 12 behind No. 6 Kansas.
The two guiding principles stated by sociology professors Michael Lovaglia from the University of Maryland and Christopher Kelley from the University of Iowa were:
1. Student athletes should have the information they need to pick the collegiate sports program that gives them both the best opportunity for athletic success and the best chance to earn a quality college degree.
2. Promoting academic progress can help NCAA teams win. When student athletes choose schools that promote both their athletic and academic success, coaches will use their successful record of promoting academic progress to recruit the best players and improve the athletic performance of their teams.
Components of the Student Athlete Performance Ratings (SAPR)
One component of the SAPR is the Athletic Success Rate (ASR) that combines the following information for each NCAA football and basketball program:
1. The number of team wins in the last 5 years
2. The team’s all-time winning percentage
3. The number of conference championships in the last 5 years
4. Total attendance at recent home games
5. Number of bowl games in the last 5 years
6. Number of national rankings 25th or above in the last 5 years
7. Number of program players currently playing in the NFL or NBA
The second component of the SAPR is the Athletic Progress Rate (APR) calculated by the NCAA to determine how well teams have promoted the academic progress of their athletes. The APR tracks two critical factors for each athlete on each NCAA team:
1. Whether the athlete who participated last year has been retained on the team this year.
2. Whether the athlete remains academically eligible to play this year.
The Student Athlete Performance Rate (SAPR) combines the above components to rank NCAA programs by how well they provide their athletes with both the opportunity for athletic success and academic progress.
