But the definition of APR is:

http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/research/division-i-academic-progress-rate-apr

"Academic Progress Rate (APR) holds institutions accountable for the academic progress of their student-athletes through a team-based metric that accounts for the eligibility and retention of each student-athlete for each academic term."

Retention is equally valued as academics, and it requires a baseline of 93% to not incur penalties. I think its a completely dumb metric and entirely misses the mark of what it is intended to measure. But you can't have historic levels of turnover and attrition and not be detrimentally impacted by such a metric.

Now, I believe ku has submitted a perfect score of 1.000 every season since the metric has been in existence except one. So you can absolutely just make it up and submit a false number. But that seems very out of character to the way MU operates.
