An increase in minimum requirement for the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate (APR) means there are a few more schools facing postseason bans in college basketball next season than what we saw in 2013-14.
The NCAA released its APR numbers earlier than usual when the report came out on Wednesday, and here are the teams that will be ineligible to compete in postseason men's basketball play in 2015, three of which come from the Southland Conference:
- Alabama State (SWAC)
- Appalachian State (Southern)
- Florida A&M (MEAC)
- Houston Baptist (Southland)
- Lamar (Southland)
- San Jose State (Mountain West)
- Central Arkansas (Southland)
- Wisconsin-Milwaukee (Horizon League)
