Love and the APR
Since writing Kevin Love is withdrawing from classes and hiring agent Jeff Schwartz, I've received a number of inquiries about how this effects UCLA's APR, the dreaded formula used by the NCAA to ensure schools are doing their best to keep kids focused in the classroom.
After doing some research, Love withdrawing from classes does negatively impact the APR. But UCLA's APR four-year average is high enough (968) that it will not trigger any
scholarship penalties. The ninth week of the quarter begins Tuesday. A player must withdraw from classes much sooner to not effect the APR.
About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
