You really are an idiot! Learn some basic math. 1 point for each player divided by 1 point for each semester/quarter competed. 4 years = 8 semester points. If a sophomore transferred out after 2 yrs that is 4 points out of 8 = 500 APR. Then take the rest of the roster and do the same. 7-8 transfers will drop well below 990.

As for my DD committing to UDub. She isn't a YNT player and I know UCLA and Stanford recruits from the YNT team, so why bother barking up the wrong tree. Many girls committing to those schools without YNT experience will be challenged to find any pitch time. How many girls are going to beat out Mallory, Fleming and Ashley for playing time? Not many at all. Same applies for Stanford. USC, she didn't like the surrounding area outside of USC. CAL they committed 5 players in my DDs class many from Surf before the 3-4 Surf players ended up decommitting from CAL their HS Jr year.

My DD was also looking for the following, wanted to attend an out of state, large student body, academically ranked University (UDub ranked #54 by U.S. News), offers her major, cooler weather and rain doesn't bother her (she hates hot weather), team that plays the ball on the ground, large city, school with football team.

Oh yeah almost forgot, she wanted a school by water....and UDub is on the Pugent Sound. UDub students have the option to canoe, rowboat or paddle board up and down the sound!

In case you didn't know. Academic Pac12 rankings according to US News are:
1. Stanford #5
2. CAL #20
3. USC #23 (UCLA and USC always flip flops depending on the year)
4. UCLA #24
5. UDub #54
6. Colorado #92
The rest are not in the top 100.

Academic rankings are important, but not everything. Some of the top schools don't offer the types of degrees that some players want (like kinesiology). In most cases for undergraduate degrees the amount of effort put in matters more than the academic rating.

Don't forget, UW also had an APR of 997. That's another terrific reason to attend. ;)

On the other hand, University of Kentucky's men's basketball team got a 1000 (perfect score), so I guess APR doesn't say too much, now does it.

Love how posters try to bring up exceptions to the rule. I will bet non-revenue sports such as women soccer are unable to skirt the rules.

These are "university" rankings. Our kids go to college, some of them go to college at universities. Use the college rankings.

Yes, I agree like anything else a player must weigh everything....including their GPA, athletic ability, style of play and major of interesr. The academic rankings are not an end all be all, but is still a great reference when weeding out universities.

Thanks. Now we can stop pretending that the Pac-12 is full of top academic institutions.

Who posted the Pac12 is full top academic universities? Let me guess you are a typical Pac12 HATER, because your DD wasn't recruited or committed to a Pac12 school. Don't let it discourage you, there are many top academic D1 mid-major schools like; UCI, UC Davis, UCSB, Pepperdine and alike.

Don't forget Long Beach State, Mount San Antonio College, and Cal Poly Pomona. All first rate institutions.

Hence the word and alike!

LB State, SLO and SDSU are also good regional universities. Their acceptance rates are in the 30%, because of the vast student population in California. It's not a given a student is admitted into those schools with a less than overall 3.75 GPA.

Is that supposed to offend me? It doesn't!

I didn't grow up rich. I had to attend a JUCO, transferred to Cal Poly Pomona and worked full-time when going to school. I worked hard, climbed my way up the corporate ladder, now self-employed and do very well for myself. The typical American dream and like any parent want a life that is better for my kids!

And as for my son, he is a Sr at Long Beach State, currently has a 3.6 GPA and will be graduating with a BS Degree in Kinesiology. Best of all he will have "ZERO" college debt! Afterwards he be going to graduate school.

Nice try, but takes a lot to insult me!

Takes a lot to insult you too. It must be, because you are independently wealthy. I recall my mentor when working at PacifiCare now UnitedHealthcare. He was a heavy set guy, made A LOT of money and had the most confidence in the world. If I didn't know any better I would swear he thought he was Brad Pitt.
