FWIW APR ratings can easily be inflated and aren't really a great way to compare a school's academics. If a kid is truly interested in academics than I would think he would compare the actual university rankings and not APR JMO.

ND and Stanford haven't even offered yet and he hasn't heard much from both of them so they aren't even in the picture at this point. Bama is the only one he listed that he doesn't have an offer from yet but he thinks they could be really close to pulling the trigger. APR ratings really have nothing to do with the quality of academics at the school.

Once again, solid APR ratings do not equal good academics and vice versa.

No but they might point to a system that values preparing young men (especially student athletes) for the real world by getting them to finish their education and graduating. Hey, your school is top notch and probably better academically than tOSU but I am proud of what Tressel started and in general what the largest student athletic department in the country has been able to establish in terms of strong APR.

I agree that it "might" but if you were to look at APR ratings, you would see that teams with coaching changes tend to have low APR ratings because of the transfers after coaching changes. Also to your other post, Florida is a solid institution, they are second academically in the SEC, only to Vandy. According to USNews, it's ranked #58, far from awful.

I completely agree that Michigan's offense in 2013 and beyond should really appeal to a tight end like Blazevich.

Fans from all schools are welcome here, provided that they are polite and respectful. We expect all the Michigan fans to be polite and respectful to them as well. We're fine with some good-natured, mature trash talking, but everyone knows what's crossing the line.
