Some clarification, for those interested

"Why the APR plunge for the 2013-14 Mizzou team? Seven scholarship players from that roster left the program before their eligibility expired. If they left in poor academic standing, that would further damage the team’s APR. Those players were Jabari Brown, Jordan Clarkson, Shane Rector, Torren Jones, Zach Price, Stefan Jankovic and Cameron Biedscheid."

Two of which, Price and Biedschied, never played for MU.

The timing of Clark leaving impacts when his effect is reported, i.e. not yet included in our current numbers. He can't be at MU for 5+ semesters and not be ever factored in.

In regards to Clark and Allen's GPA, that will be irrelevant if they don't enroll somewhere at a 4 year University before the start of next semester:

The NCAA Division I Committee on Academic Performance has approved an automatic adjustment to the calculation of the NCAA Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR) to discount the lost retention point in those instances when a student-athlete transfers. Requests for transfer student-athletes who meet all criteria for the automatic adjustment of the retention point.

Review of such an adjustment request is dependent on a student-athlete meeting the following criteria:

1. The student-athlete transferred immediately to another four-year institution (i.e., the next
available regular academic term), which must be supported by documentation of the student-athlete's full-time enrollment and matriculation at the second institution in the next regular academic term;

2. The student-athlete attended the original institution for a minimum of one academic year prior to the transfer;

3. The student-athlete earned the eligibility point in the last term of enrollment prior to the transfer; and

4. The student-athlete presented a cumulative grade-point average of 2.6 or higher at the time of transfer from the original institution.

Adjustment requests that fail to meet the criteria outlined above, specifically the required cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.6, may also be made by member institutions and considered by the NCAA staff, provided the following minimum criteria are met:

1. The student-athlete transferred immediately to another four-year institution (i.e., the next available regular academic term), which must be supported by documentation of the student-athlete's full-time enrollment at the second institution in the next regular academic term;

2. The student-athlete attended the original institution for a minimum of one academic year
prior to the transfer;

3. The student-athlete earned the eligibility point in the last term of enrollment prior to the transfer; and

4. The student-athlete presents a cumulative grade-point average at the original institution of at least 2.0 and satisfies a rigorous review of academic factors.

Question: When a student-athlete transfers from our institution, does the student-athlete need to be enrolled immediately in the next regular academic term as a full-time student?

Answer: Yes, documentation would need to be obtained in order to verify that the student-athlete immediately

Question: Is any relief provided for the lost retention point if the student-athlete immediately transfers to a two-year institution instead of a four-year institution?

Answer: No, the student-athlete must immediately enroll full time at a four-year institution

Question: What if a student-athlete is a 2-4 transfer and has only been at our institution for one term but was enrolled at the two-year institution for one year? Does he or she qualify for the automatic adjustment of the retention point, provided he or she meets all of the other criteria?

Answer: Such a student-athlete would not qualify for the automatic adjustment for the student-athlete must have attended your institution for a minimum of one academic year prior to the transfer. In this instance, the student-athlete only attended your institution for one term and thus, would not qualify for the automatic adjustment of the lost retention point.

Question: What does it mean to transfer "immediately to another four-year institution?"

Answer: Such a student-athlete must enroll full time at another four-year institution in the next available regular academic term.
