NCAA continues discussion on APR reform until April

According several reports, the NCAA Committee on Academic Performance discussed changing the Academic Progress Rate reporting dates during its meeting Monday. but opted not to make a decision.

The discussion will continue at the committee's next meeting in April.

Without a change, UConn will be ineligible to compete in the 2013 postseason because of the men's basketball program's sub-standard APR score.

Earlier this month, the NCAA denied UConn's waiver request to compete in the 2013 postseason.

UConn submitted an appeal to the NCAA Division I Committee on Academic Performance Subcomittee on Appeals but has yet to receive a response. It is highly unlikely UConn will win an appeal.
