Yale recorded the highest academic progress rate (APR) out of 326 Division I schools in data recently released by the NCAA. The APR, a numerical representation of whether a school's athletes remain at the school and stay academically eligible until graduation, is part of a new program designed to hold college athletics to a higher academic standard. Yale's score of 999, with 27 of 29 teams receiving perfect marks, was well above the nationwide average of 944.
