Football APR News is good

When Coach Brandon left Bowling Green, one of the things that was on the list to get fixed was the team's APR, which was pretty sad and had caused the program to lose scholarships.

The first returns are in, and the Clawson regime seems to be turning things around.

The single year APR for football jumped from 912 in 2007-08 to 960 for the 2008-09 reporting year, ranking third among all Mid-American Conference (MAC) schools. The multi-year rate climbed 11 points from 920 in 2007-08 to 931 for the 2008-09 reporting year, ranking among the top 30 increases in the country.

Third in the MAC is a good measure.  Nice job to everyone who worked hard for this.

I have always said that in the MAC, there is no reason to choose between winning and academic performance.  You can do both, and that expectation is clear for our program.
