Given High Fives: 1 Rep Power: 29 | LSU only has one team with low APR The latest NCAA APR report for LSU shows that all 20 sports are clear of any penalties. NCAA sports falling below an established cutoff point are subject to penalties including scholarship reductions. A perfect APR score is 1000 and the cutoff point for potential penalties is 925. Of LSU’s 20 varsity sports, 19 scored above the 925 mark, and all but one scored above 940.
The baseball team was LSU’s only sport cited for falling below the 925 mark for the four-year period dating back to the 2004-05 academic year, just missing the cutoff with a score of 921. Baseball will incur no penalties because no baseball student-athletes left LSU prior to the expiration of their eligibility with insufficient academic standing.
LSU's Baseball team posted an APR of 1000 for the 2007-08 athletic year, which has improved its historical APR score from 905 and 908 the last two years to 921 this year.
Women’s golf scored the highest among LSU sports with a perfect score of 1000 for the four-year period dating back to the 2004-05 academic year. The women’s golf team is one of only 10 sports teams in the SEC that received public recognition from the NCAA for finishing in the top 10 percent in the nation in its respective sport.
In addition to women’s golf, other LSU teams with APR scores of 970 or above include women’s cross country at 987, women’s tennis and volleyball at 986, gymnastics at 985, men’s golf at 983, men’s swimming at 980, men’s tennis at 979, men’s cross country at 976 and women’s swimming at 971.
