Nebraska one of 13 HIGH achieving APR schools

[HuskerinBig10]

13 FBS schools were honored for their high APR, Academic Progress Rates, for their Student-Athletes. The score had to be 980 or higher, 1000 is PERFECT.

How about Pelini? 122 of the possible 132 seniors that have played for him have graduated. In 2014, all of them will, that must be a 1000. Nebraska was 980 or higher last year also according to this NCAA site

Nebraska also has other high acheivers that make the Top Ten Award list. Only ten out of 450,000 student-athletes make this list. The list has gone from Top 5 to Top Ten over the years. Nebraska has THIRTEEN student athletes on this list. Last year, Mary Weatherholt was on the list. Football players on the list have been Dave Rimington, Trev Alberts, Patrick Tyrance, Jacob Young, Mark Traynowicz, and Randy Schleusener. The University of Nebraska also leads this award list. This year, a female gymnast, might make the list to make it 14.

Dartmouth had 26 of their 28 teams make it.

Now, those are student-athletes.

Since you are counting,

Mountain West Boise State did it also.

I remember reading their name and thinking it had to be an error because Boise State academics is not thought have very highly. I couldn't even find a ranking for them in US News & World Report. Nebraska 101(bottom Big Ten), Oklahoma 101, Kansas 101, Iowa State 101, West Virginia 170, TCU 82, K State 135, Oklahoma State 142, Texas Tech 161. Sure glad Nebraska got out of that High Academic Standard Conference that is known as the Big 12. I don't think the Big 12 is demanding very high academic standards for any new member, as long as they breath.

It's apparent that Nebraska football players are spending more time in the classroom than at football practice
