BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Alabama State's football, men's basketball, baseball and women's volleyball teams face Academic Progress Rate postseason bans for 2013-14 pending waiver requests by the university.
The NCAA's annual APR release today shows those programs are ineligible for the postseason. In a statement, Alabama State Interim President William H. Harris said the university is "optimistic" for favorable wavier-relief outcomes for the upcoming seasons.
In addition, Alabama State received practice reduction penalties in baseball and softball along with the four sports facing postseason bans. Eighteen Division I teams face postseason bans for low academic progress scores.
Teams with postseason bans are those that score below a 900 APR in rolling four-year data. The APR awards two points each term to athletes who meet eligibility standards and remain at their school. The latest scores came from the 2008-09 to 2011-12 academic years.
