U Wash APR = 997
CU APR = 997

It doesn't look like our Buff buddies should be concerned about APR. Buy, hey, nice shift from the Buffs' "chemistry problems" to meaningless APR nonsense. I guess that's the only thing left after the Buffs finished top 3 in the Pac-12 this year - obviously little chemistry problems. What place did the Dawgs finish?

I see that you were able to pull your head out of your rear end. Congrats!

IDIOT, you posted the 2014-2015 APR, which doesn't take into account the 7-8 player transfers this past Summer. Yes this year is 2016! Those transfers will reflect on the Buffs 2015-2016 APR Spring report which I guaranteed will be lower!

In other words, it's the team's current APR. And wow, you predict that their APR will drop to what? 990? Who cares? It's meaningless. That score would still be way better than UCLA and other, much better academic institutions. Would your DD choose UW over UCLA because of UW's APR higher score? Please. Keep spinning.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
