The NCAA will be releasing Academic Progress Rate’s across the country a little later this afternoon, but we know what’s going on with the Razorbacks already: Arkansas’ basketball ball team is going to take a hit and will be penalized in some form or fashion.

Athletic director Jeff Long said last week he doesn’t foresee the Razorbacks losing scholarships right now because of the poor performance in the latest multi-year APR. Instead, Arkansas is expected to get a public warning. We’ll see if that holds true. It may sound like a slap on the wrist, but it’s clearly a concern. It’s something that could lead to scholarship losses or worse down the road.

Ole Miss’ football program is dealing with some fallout today. The Clarion-Ledger indicates the football program will lose three scholarships because of a poor APR rating. There are two kinds of penalties the NCAA dishes out in regard to APR: Historical and Immediate. The scholarship losses at Ole Miss are the result of immediate penalties, meaning these were scholarship athletes who left the program and left the program when they were academically ineligible.

Ole Miss isn’t the only program to take a hit, either. Minnesota football has lost three scholarships as well.

Clearly, the APR is no laughing matter. Check back later for Arkansas’ program-wide scores and any penalties issued.
