Florida Atlantic's football program continues to struggle under the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate, and was penalized for the fourth straight year and is losing three scholarships.
The football team was the only FAU program penalized in the 2009-10 report released Tuesday, and just one of 17 football teams that lost scholarships due to a low APR rate.
The national average score for football was 946, and FAU's was 920. Penalties begin when teams fall below 925, and FAU the 920 score is the highest for FAU's football team.
The rate is based on the eligibility and retention of student-athletes, with penalties imposed when students fail academically or drop out.
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Hey you know what we should do we should make fun of other programs like uf about how good and clean ours is :
Ha, I think 35 arrests in 24 months is a little different than bad grades. I have failed a class, I have never been put in cuffs.
Keep things in perspective chief.

Fourth year in a row? What happened to getting kids who were good students with good character? If we're going to lose scholarships every year then lets go after those kids who get dismissed from big programs!
Has anybody ever claimed that FAU goes after athletes that are great students academically?

We just don't have the budget for adequate compliance and/or tutoring programs that the big boys do. Hopefully another thing that changes with the new stadium and if we can avaerage 20K plus in attendance we will better be able to.
I beleive the "break-even" for the stadium budget was set really low at something like 12K in attendance to help ensure this thing pays for itself and does not break the athletic department or the school.
