One of the more important events over the course of this season will be what level MU falls into in terms of it being a deterant for attracting quality coaching candidates.
Level 1 penalties (reduction of four hours per week of practice time and one day of practice time during season, with the lost four hours to be replaced with academic activities.)
Level 2 penalties (includes Level I practice reductions and a reduction of four hours of practice time out of season, plus the elimination of non-championship seasons Teams without non-championship seasons face a reduction in games)
Level 3 penalties (includes all Level I and Level 2 punishments plus the possibility of scholarship reductions, additional practice or contest restrictions, game and/or recruiting restrictions for coaches, restricted access to practice for incoming athletes who fall below established standards, restricted NCAA membership and multi-year postseason bans)
While postseason bans are commonly applied as a penalty in the NCAA enforcement process, they are not considered as a penalty for poor academic performance. Instead, the requirement that teams achieve a minimum APR is simply a benchmark for participation in championships.
