Allen and Clark both played last year and didn't go to another D1 school that we lost those retention points. Using the linked APR description below, wasn't Payne student athlete 3 and Clark/Allen Student Athlete 2? So if Payne only had 2 points available and the other 11 players on scholarship had 4 that means we had 46 possible points. We lost 2 points for Payne and 2 for Allen/Clark. That means we received 42 out of 46 points which is an APR of 913 which would lower our 4-year average below 930. I would love to know what exceptions we can get but I just don't see how losing 3 players with eligibility remaining who didn't go to another NCAA school isn't going to cost us in the APR.
