Football's gain
The NCAA's Academic Progress Rate (APR) gauges how individual teams are doing in eligibility and retention of athletes based on a point system. A perfect score is 1,000. The NCAA punishes teams that fail to meet certain APR standards. Here is a look at the four-year rolling APR averages the past 11 years for the Gophers football team:
