Academic Progress Rate
The Academic Progress Rate (APR) is a real-time, team-based metric implemented by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in 2003 to monitor the academic eligibility and retention of Division I student-athletes on a term-by-term basis, providing an incentive-driven framework to promote academic accountability among athletic programs.[1] Adopted formally at the 2004 NCAA Convention as part of broader academic reform efforts, the APR addresses the limitations of lagging indicators like federal graduation rates by offering annual assessments that hold institutions responsible for student-athletes' progress toward degree completion.[2] The APR is calculated by assigning each scholarship student-athlete in a squad up to two points per regular academic term—one for maintaining academic eligibility (e.g., meeting credit-hour and GPA requirements) and one for retention (e.g., returning to the institution the following term or graduating)—with the team's total points divided by the maximum possible points and multiplied by 1,000 to yield a score out of 1,000.[2] Multi-year rolling averages are used, with a four-year APR below 930 triggering potential loss of postseason eligibility or other sanctions, while scores of 980 or higher qualify teams for public recognition as top performers in their sport.[2] Penalties escalate in severity for repeated poor performance, including reductions in scholarships, practice hours, and competition opportunities, whereas high-achieving programs receive accolades that enhance institutional prestige.[1] Since its inception, the APR has correlated with rising overall academic metrics across NCAA Division I programs, with multi-year averages climbing steadily and hundreds of teams annually posting perfect 1,000 scores, particularly in sports like women's basketball and baseball.[2] However, it has drawn criticism for disproportionately sanctioning historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and low-resource institutions, where lower baseline student preparation and funding constraints make compliance harder, potentially reinforcing resource disparities rather than fostering equitable academic gains.[3][4] Detractors argue that the system's emphasis on minimal eligibility thresholds encourages short-term compliance tactics, such as clustering athletes in easier majors or academic clustering, over deeper educational outcomes, though empirical data indicate it has elevated floor-level standards amid persistent gaps in graduation realities.[4]Origins and Development
Historical Context and Introduction in 2003
The Academic Progress Rate (APR) was introduced by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in 2003 amid growing concerns over the academic underperformance of student-athletes in Division I programs, particularly in high-profile sports like football and men's basketball, where federal graduation rates often hovered below 50% in the late 1990s and early 2000s.[1] Prior metrics, such as the federal graduation rate, provided only retrospective snapshots over a six-year period and inadequately accounted for transfer students, prompting Division I presidents and chancellors to demand a more immediate and team-specific measure to align intercollegiate athletics with institutional educational missions.[1] This reform effort built on earlier initiatives like the Graduation Success Rate (GSR), introduced around 2001 to adjust for transfers, but sought proactive accountability rather than lagged outcomes.[5] In January 2003, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors endorsed the Annual Academic Progress Rate (AAPR) as a real-time indicator of team academic success, emphasizing eligibility maintenance and retention per semester to enable swift institutional interventions.[6] This endorsement formed the core of a broader academic reform package aimed at curbing practices that prioritized athletic over academic progress, such as lax admissions or inadequate support services.[7] By spring 2003, NCAA officials refined AAPR models, incorporating concepts like "good academic standing" and penalty triggers such as a "0-for-2" rule for lost eligibility points, while piloting data collection on eligibility, retention, and graduation trends.[6] The metric was formalized in August 2003, with the 2003-04 academic year designated for initial data gathering without penalties, and scholarship restrictions slated for enforcement starting fall 2005 based on aggregated scores from the first two years.[6] Renamed simply the APR in October 2003, it established the Division I Committee on Academic Performance to oversee thresholds and sanctions, requiring two years of data before finalizing benchmarks.[6] This introduction marked a shift toward term-by-term accountability, calculating points for each scholarship athlete's eligibility (tied to core GPA and credit hours) and retention, yielding a 1,000-point scale per team to incentivize proactive academic oversight.[1] Initial 2003-04 results, released in February 2005, revealed that approximately 7% of teams fell below preliminary cutoff levels, highlighting vulnerabilities in football, baseball, and men's basketball programs.[6]Objectives and Initial Reforms Under NCAA Leadership
The Academic Progress Rate (APR) was endorsed by the NCAA Division I Board of Directors in January 2003 as a core component of an ambitious academic reform package, with the principal objective of delivering a real-time, term-by-term assessment of student-athlete eligibility and retention to supplant the limitations of federal graduation rates, which offered only retrospective and incomplete insights into team academic health.[6] This metric aimed to foster proactive institutional accountability by identifying at-risk squads early, thereby promoting behaviors that enhance academic persistence and progress toward degree completion rather than merely end-of-cycle outcomes.[6] Under the leadership of NCAA President Myles Brand, who assumed office in 2001 and prioritized elevating academics amid criticisms of professionalization in college sports, the APR sought to reinforce "good academic behaviors" and align intercollegiate athletics more closely with educational missions.[8][9] Initial reforms emphasized data-driven incentives and penalties to drive compliance, beginning with voluntary data collection in the 2003-04 academic year to establish baseline metrics without immediate sanctions, allowing institutions time to adapt systems for tracking eligibility (e.g., maintaining full-time enrollment and satisfactory progress) and retention (e.g., return for the next term).[6] By August 2003, the NCAA outlined "contemporaneous penalties" set to activate in fall 2005, based on aggregated scores from the 2003-04 and 2004-05 years, with teams falling below a 925 threshold facing scholarship reductions—up to one percent per point of deficiency—to directly impact recruiting and roster sizes as a deterrent against academic neglect.[6][10] These measures were calibrated to be "tough but fair," prioritizing behavioral reinforcement over punitive excess, and were overseen by the newly formed Division I Committee on Academic Performance, established in October 2003 to standardize enforcement and review appeals.[6][9] The reforms also integrated with parallel initiatives, such as heightened initial eligibility standards for incoming freshmen enacted in 2003, which raised core course requirements and GPA thresholds to ensure better-prepared student-athletes, thereby supporting the APR's retention-focused goals from the outset.[11] This multifaceted approach under Brand's tenure marked a shift toward metrics that penalized systemic academic underperformance at the squad level, compelling athletics departments to integrate tutoring, advising, and monitoring as core operational priorities.[8]Measurement and Calculation
Eligibility and Retention Criteria
The Academic Progress Rate (APR) evaluates scholarship student-athletes' academic performance through points awarded for eligibility and retention each academic term, with the cohort comprising those receiving athletic financial aid or listed on the varsity roster at the start of competition. Each qualifying student-athlete earns up to two points per term: one for eligibility and one for retention.[7] These points reflect whether the athlete meets standards to continue participation and enrollment, aggregated over rolling four-year periods to compute the team's APR score.[2] Eligibility points are awarded if a student-athlete satisfies NCAA academic requirements to compete in the subsequent term, including full-time enrollment (typically 12 credit hours per term), satisfactory academic progress toward degree completion (e.g., 24% of degree requirements by year-end for freshmen, escalating to 40%, 60%, and 80% in later years per NCAA Bylaw 14.4.3.4), and maintaining institutional and NCAA minimum GPA thresholds (often 2.0 overall, with major-specific progress). Failure in any area, such as insufficient credits or GPA, results in loss of the point, even if the athlete competes in the current term under prior eligibility. Graduates automatically receive the eligibility point for their final term, as degree completion fulfills progression standards.[7][12] Retention points assess institutional persistence, granted if the student-athlete enrolls full-time in the next term or graduates from the institution. Departure without graduation forfeits the point, regardless of external factors like professional drafts or transfers, though limited adjustments exist for verifiable cases (e.g., immediate transfer to another NCAA institution with a 2.0 GPA and eligibility retention). This criterion emphasizes causal links between athletic participation and sustained enrollment, penalizing "0-for-2" outcomes where both points are lost due to ineligibility and non-retention. Special provisions apply to graduating seniors, who earn the retention point upon degree conferral, even if not returning, ensuring credit for completion rather than perpetual enrollment.[7]Formula and Scoring Mechanics
The Academic Progress Rate (APR) is computed as a team's total points earned divided by the total points possible, with the result multiplied by 1,000 to yield a score ranging from 0 to 1,000.[2][1] This formula applies to Division I teams and aggregates data across a rolling four-year period, encompassing eight regular academic terms (typically semesters or quarters).[2] Points are awarded per scholarship student-athlete in the APR cohort, defined as those receiving athletically related financial aid during the relevant terms.[2] Each such student-athlete can earn up to two points per term: one for eligibility, granted if they meet NCAA progress-toward-degree standards to remain eligible for competition in the subsequent term (e.g., maintaining a minimum GPA and completing required credit hours); and one for retention, awarded if they remain enrolled full-time at the institution for the next term or graduate.[2][1] Failure in either category results in zero points for that component, with no partial credit; for instance, a student-athlete who loses eligibility due to insufficient academic progress forfeits the eligibility point, even if retained.[2] The total points possible equals twice the number of scholarship student-athletes in the cohort across the four-year window, assuming full participation each term.[2] Non-scholarship athletes are excluded from the calculation, focusing the metric solely on those with financial incentives tied to performance.[1] Adjustments account for variables like mid-year transfers (who contribute points only for terms at the reporting institution) or partial qualifiers, but the core binary scoring—earn or forfeit—remains consistent without weighting for academic rigor or major.[2] Annual APR scores are derived from the prior year's data and released publicly, with multi-year averages determining sanctions or rewards.[1] This real-time, term-by-term tracking incentivizes ongoing academic monitoring over end-point outcomes like graduation.[2]Data Collection and Reporting
The Academic Progress Rate (APR) relies on data submitted by Division I institutions regarding the eligibility and retention of scholarship student-athletes in each sport. Institutions track two primary metrics per academic term: eligibility, which awards a point if the student-athlete remains academically eligible for competition the following term (or graduates), and retention, which awards a point if the student-athlete returns to the institution or graduates.[2] These points are assessed for every scholarship student-athlete, with non-scholarship athletes included only in specific cases, such as football subdivisions.[2] Data collection occurs at the institutional level through compliance offices, which compile term-by-term records from enrollment systems, academic advising, and athletic department rosters, typically due to the NCAA approximately six weeks after the fall semester begins. Submissions are made via the NCAA Academic Portal, an online system integrated with institutional single-sign-on for secure reporting of eligibility, retention, and related graduation data.[13] The NCAA's Division I Academic Performance Program verifies submissions, allowing institutions to correct errors before finalizing official reports, which incorporate data from the prior academic year. APR results are calculated and released annually by the NCAA in the spring, typically covering four-year rolling averages alongside single-year scores, with public announcements highlighting national trends and team-specific data.[1] The Division I Committee on Academics oversees the process, ensuring consistency, while a searchable public database provides team-level APRs, eligibility rates, retention rates, and public recognition awards for high-performing teams.[7] For instance, the 2022-23 APR data were released in June 2024, enabling analysis for postseason eligibility determinations in the subsequent year.[14] This reporting framework supports accountability, with four-year APRs below 930 triggering potential sanctions, though recent releases show most teams exceeding 985.[1]Standards, Sanctions, and Incentives
Performance Thresholds
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) sets a primary performance threshold of 930 for the multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR), calculated as a four-year rolling average, to determine team eligibility for postseason competition and NCAA championships. Teams achieving a multi-year APR below 930 are generally ineligible for such events unless they receive an appeal waiver from the NCAA Division I Committee on Academics.[15] [16] This benchmark, implemented since the 2011-12 academic year after an initial rise from 925, approximates a 50% Graduation Success Rate (GSR) and reflects the NCAA's emphasis on sustained academic retention and eligibility.[17] Single-year APR scores are also evaluated against a 930 threshold, with sub-930 results prompting immediate institutional reviews and potential early interventions, though sanctions primarily hinge on the multi-year metric. For football programs, failing the multi-year threshold specifically prohibits bowl game participation.[18] [16] The NCAA temporarily suspended penalties during the COVID-19 disruptions from 2020 through 2023-24 but reinstated full enforcement starting in the 2024-25 academic year, maintaining the 930 cutoff without adjustment.[15] Superior performance thresholds exist for recognition, with teams posting multi-year APRs of 984 or above receiving public certificates from the NCAA, and perfect scores of 1,000 denoting exceptional achievement across all squad members' eligibility and retention.[19] These upper benchmarks incentivize ongoing academic excellence beyond mere compliance, though they do not confer additional competitive advantages like expanded scholarships.[1]Penalty Structures and Enforcement
The NCAA Division I Academic Performance Program enforces APR standards primarily through loss of access to postseason competition and championships for teams with a four-year average APR below the 930 benchmark.[15] This eligibility requirement functions as the core enforcement mechanism, distinct from traditional penalties but effectively barring underperforming squads from NCAA-sponsored events.[2] Teams facing contemporaneous penalties for single-year or recent poor performance encounter tiered restrictions on athletically related activities. Level-one penalties cap countable activities at 16 hours per week over five days, mandating replacement of four hours with academic cluster time focused on study or tutoring.[2] Level-two penalties build on this by further curtailing weekly activities, non-championship segment competitions, and overall practice time to incentivize immediate academic remediation.[2] For historical underperformance, such as multiyear APRs below 900, harsher sanctions apply, including reductions in athletic scholarships—typically one scholarship per eight to ten points below the threshold, depending on squad size and deficit magnitude—and potential one-year postseason bans beyond the standard eligibility cutoff.[20] [21] The Division I Committee on Academics calculates scores annually from institutionally certified data, releases public reports in spring, and imposes measures effective the following academic year.[15] Penalties were suspended from 2020 through 2023 due to COVID-19 disruptions but resumed for the 2024-25 cycle, using data from the 2019-20 to 2022-23 cohorts with announcements in spring 2024.[15] Institutions may petition for waivers via submission of an APR Improvement Plan, which requires demonstration of enhanced academic support, monitoring, and progress metrics to qualify for relief from sanctions or postseason ineligibility.[22] For smaller squads (under 30 student-athletes), penalties incorporate squad-size adjustments using confidence intervals to ensure statistical reliability.[2]Rewards for High Achievement
Teams achieving multiyear Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores in the top 10 percent of their sport, including ties, receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards annually. These awards honor superior academic performance and are announced each spring based on the prior four years of data, serving as a benchmark for excellence in student-athlete eligibility and retention.[2] For the 2023-24 academic year data released in May 2025, over 1,000 Division I programs qualified, with examples including 11 teams from Clemson University and nine from Boston University.[23][24] Beyond team-level recognition, institutions benefit from NCAA revenue distribution tied to aggregate academic metrics, including APR. Division I schools earn academic units—and thus a portion of unrestricted funds distributed starting in spring 2020—if their average single-year APR across all teams meets or exceeds 985, or if they satisfy alternative criteria such as a Graduation Success Rate of 90 percent or better.[25] In 2025, all 15 American Athletic Conference members qualified for such distributions based on 2023-24 performance, highlighting the program's role in incentivizing institution-wide academic prioritization.[26] These funds, derived from NCAA revenues like media rights, support broad athletic and academic initiatives without specific earmarks.[25]Related and Adjusted Metrics
Graduation Success Rate
The Graduation Success Rate (GSR) is the NCAA's primary metric for assessing the percentage of Division I student-athletes who earn a degree within six years of initial full-time enrollment, specifically targeting cohorts of first-year scholarship recipients while adjusting for transfer mobility.[27] Introduced in 2003, GSR addresses limitations in the federal graduation rate (FGR) by not classifying academically eligible departures—such as transfers to other institutions—as automatic failures, instead crediting graduates from subsequent schools as successes for the original institution.[28] This adjustment reflects the high transfer rates in intercollegiate athletics, where student-athletes often switch programs for athletic or academic fit without academic penalty.[27] GSR calculation follows a cohort-based formula: the rate equals the number of graduates (from the original or any subsequent institution within six years) divided by the sum of graduates plus "likely nongraduates" (those who neither graduate nor depart academically eligible).[27] Cohorts include incoming scholarship freshmen and midyear enrollees but exclude non-scholarship athletes unless they receive aid later; incoming transfers are incorporated if they graduate elsewhere, effectively enlarging the success numerator while preserving denominator integrity for retained students.[28] Unlike the FGR, which denominates only initial enrollees and treats all transfers as nongraduates—yielding rates around 67% for Division I athletes in illustrative cohorts—GSR typically produces higher figures (e.g., 73%) by accounting for post-transfer outcomes, though it still undercounts partial successes like certificate completions.[27] In relation to the Academic Progress Rate (APR), GSR serves as a lagging outcome measure complementing APR's prospective focus on semester-to-semester eligibility and retention points.[29] While APR incentivizes ongoing academic engagement through real-time scoring (e.g., 2 points for retention and eligibility per student per term), GSR evaluates terminal degree attainment, with empirical correlations showing high-APR teams achieving superior GSRs over time, though transfer adjustments in GSR can decouple short-term progress from final institutional loyalty.[29] This duality allows APR to drive reforms like academic counseling mandates, while GSR validates long-term efficacy. Recent data for the 2017 entering cohort indicate a Division I GSR of 91%, steady from prior years and marking the highest on record since tracking began in 2002 (when it stood at 74%).[30] Gains are pronounced across demographics and sports: Black student-athletes reached 82% (up from 56% in 2002), FBS football 85% (from 63%), men's basketball 87% (from 56%), and women's sports averaged 92% or higher, with lacrosse and gymnastics at 99%.[30] These improvements correlate with post-2003 academic reforms, including APR-linked sanctions, though GSR's transfer leniency has drawn scrutiny for potentially overstating institutional impact amid rising portal-driven mobility.[30][31]Comparison to Federal Graduation Rates
The Academic Progress Rate (APR) and federal graduation rates, derived from the U.S. Department of Education's Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), measure distinct aspects of student-athlete academic performance, rendering direct numerical comparisons invalid. APR assigns points (up to 1000 per team per year) for scholarship athletes maintaining academic eligibility (e.g., minimum GPA thresholds) and retention (e.g., continued enrollment), aggregating data across all team members over multiple terms to incentivize ongoing progress.[1] In fiscal year 2024, the national four-year average APR for NCAA Division I teams reached 984, reflecting near-perfect eligibility and retention in most programs.[32] Federal rates, conversely, track only first-time, full-time freshmen cohorts graduating within 150% of expected time (typically six years for bachelor's degrees), treating outbound transfers as non-graduates while ignoring inbound transfers, which understates mobility in modern higher education.[33] Empirical data highlights these disparities: Division I federal graduation rates for student-athletes generally range from 60% to 87% across conferences, with examples like the Patriot League reporting 87% for athletes in 2024 data, compared to overall student-body rates often in the 70-80% range at selective institutions.[34] [33] APR scores, scaled to 1000, appear inflated relative to these percentages but serve as a predictive tool rather than an outcome metric; NCAA analyses indicate high APRs (e.g., above 980) correlate statistically with elevated future graduation rates, as sustained eligibility and retention foster degree completion.[29] However, a 2021 study of institutional data found APR's predictive power for federal rates limited, suggesting it explains variance in progress but not fully in long-term outcomes due to factors like academic advising quality and institutional selectivity.[35] Critics, including faculty-led groups, contend APR evades rigorous outcome accountability by prioritizing short-term retention over actual degrees, potentially enabling "gaming" through prolonged enrollment of marginal performers without peer benchmarking under federal standards.[36] Federal rates, while flawed in ignoring transfers (leading to systematically lower figures than NCAA-adjusted metrics like the Graduation Success Rate, which hit 91% nationally in 2024), provide a standardized, non-athletics-specific baseline for institutional comparison.[30] Thus, APR functions as a real-time incentive mechanism complementary to, but not substitutive for, federal rates' retrospective focus on cohort completion.Academic Success Rate in Other Divisions
The Academic Success Rate (ASR) serves as the primary outcome-based academic metric for NCAA Division II and Division III institutions, analogous to the Graduation Success Rate (GSR) used in Division I but adapted to reflect the distinct operational models of these divisions. Unlike the real-time, eligibility-focused Academic Progress Rate (APR) employed exclusively in Division I, ASR calculates the proportion of student-athletes who earn a degree within six years of initial full-time enrollment, incorporating adjustments for transfers who remain in good academic standing and excluding those who depart under similar conditions to provide a more comprehensive view of persistence and achievement. This methodology emphasizes graduation attainment over interim retention points, aligning with the broader academic priorities in divisions where athletic scholarships are limited or absent.[27] In Division II, which permits partial athletic scholarships and balances competitive athletics with academics, the national four-cohort ASR average reached 77% in the most recent report covering entering classes from 2015 to 2018, marking an increase from prior years and approaching historical highs for overall and subgroup rates, including those for underrepresented minorities and low-income students. Conferences such as the Northeast-10 have achieved ASR figures above 87%, exceeding the national average, while others like the East Coast Conference reported 83%, highlighting variability tied to institutional resources and support systems. Division II does not impose sanctions based on ASR thresholds, unlike Division I's APR penalties, focusing instead on voluntary reporting and institutional self-improvement without direct financial repercussions.[37][38][39] Division III institutions, which prohibit athletic scholarships and prioritize academics as the core mission, consistently report higher ASR outcomes, with the national average holding steady at 88% across recent cohorts, underscoring the division's emphasis on integrated student-athlete experiences without financial incentives that might skew priorities toward athletics. This elevated rate persists despite the absence of mandatory athlete-specific reporting requirements, as Division III voluntarily participates in ASR calculations to benchmark academic thriving, particularly in sports like baseball and softball where rates often exceed 90%. The metric's stability in Division III reflects structural differences, including smaller rosters and greater faculty involvement, though it remains sensitive to broader campus graduation trends rather than athletic-specific interventions.[40][41]Observed Impacts and Effectiveness
Longitudinal Trends in APR Scores
Since its inception for the 2003-04 academic year, the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate (APR) has demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory in national multi-year averages, rising from initial four-year figures around 976 by the 2009-10 cycle to a stabilized 984 in the 2020-21 through 2023-24 data.[42][43] This progression reflects broader enhancements in eligibility maintenance, retention, and academic engagement among student-athletes, with the proportion of teams scoring 975-999 increasing from 52.3% in 2014-15 to 54.4% in recent reports, and perfect scores of 1000 climbing from 16.0% to 24.3% over the same span.[42] No teams have posted scores below 600 since the 2015-16 period, indicating a reinforced lower bound amid penalty structures.[42] Sport-specific longitudinal patterns vary, with revenue-generating programs showing incremental gains despite historical vulnerabilities. Football's four-year APR advanced to 964 in the latest data (up 1 point from prior cycles), while men's basketball held at 968, both benefiting from post-2010s refinements in academic monitoring.[42][44] Single-year APR peaks, such as 988 overall in 2019-20, underscore periodic surges tied to eligibility rules, though multi-year aggregates reveal steadier climbs, with men's basketball rising from 965 in 2013-14 to 968 by 2022-23.[44] Disparities persist across institutional subgroups, highlighting uneven adaptation to APR incentives. Limited-resource institutions elevated their averages from 939 in 2009-10 to 976 recently, and HBCUs from 911 to 967, yet both trail the national benchmark and comprise disproportionate shares of teams below 930.[42][44] These trends, drawn from NCAA public datasets, suggest that while APR has driven aggregate improvements—correlating with expanded academic support—the metric's focus on points-based eligibility may cap further gains at elite levels without addressing underlying graduation variances.[42][43]Differential Effects Across Sports
Football and men's basketball programs consistently record the lowest national Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores among Division I sports, reflecting greater challenges in balancing athletic and academic demands in these revenue-generating activities. For the multi-year period ending in the 2023-24 academic year, football averaged 964, men's basketball 968, and baseball 979, while women's basketball reached 982; many non-revenue sports, such as women's soccer and volleyball, often exceed 990.[32] These disparities stem from factors including larger squad sizes in football (up to 85 scholarship players plus walk-ons), which amplify the impact of any ineligible athletes on team averages, and intensive training regimens that exceed 20 hours weekly during seasons, reducing study time compared to lower-contact sports.[45] Longitudinally, since APR implementation in 2003, football and men's basketball have trailed other sports by 10-20 points on average, with pre-2010 data showing football below 950 in many seasons before reforms like stricter eligibility rules elevated scores.[1] Women's sports generally outperform men's counterparts, attributable to smaller team sizes, less commercial pressure, and demographic differences in recruitment priorities; for instance, national averages for women's track and field hover near 985, versus men's at 975.[32] Baseball exhibits moderate scores due to seasonal demands but benefits from off-season academic focus, outperforming football despite similar male-dominated recruitment.[14]| Sport | Multi-Year APR (2020-24) | Change from Prior Year |
|---|---|---|
| Football | 964 | +1 |
| Men's Basketball | 968 | Steady |
| Baseball | 979 | +1 |
| Women's Basketball | 982 | +1 |
