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.

Regardless, its a 4 year rolling window so not only will the next staff be initially limited by this, they will not be able to turn the roster over sufficiently without incurring even more APR problems.
