A Follow Up on the APR Data: Football Trends

On Tuesday, I looked at the average APR figures from the 2004-2005 to 2009-2010 seasons across the Pac-12. But, many will point out that averages do not show the whole picture. Perhaps some schools started out low, but perhaps since the implementation of the APR they have put a real emphasis on improving the educational opportunities for their student-athletes and have shown some real growth. Perhaps others started out high, but when they changed coaches no longer put an emphasis on academics and saw it decline.

In education, I know as an educator who looks at this data statistically to draw conclusions, it is often best to examine trends and see who is showing growth, not just who is the highest. There are so many socio-economic factors such as demographics and geographic location that can affect the raw scores. But, if a school is showing growth, then that is better than one who is high, but stagnant or losing ground.

So, because it is best to look at APR trends, rather than average figures, I have plotted the APR trends for the Pac-12 in football for all of the schools. I grouped them into 4-school pods to make the visualizations easier. It also gives you a good idea of how schools compare in geographically similar areas. I’ll leave it to you to make your own judgements. We’d love to see your comments about what you think the data means, if anything.  Below each chart is the raw data that comes directly from the NCAA APR website. Tomorrow I’ll post the trend data for Men’s Basketball.
