Seton Hall Loses Ship
The Seton Hall men's basketball team lost a scholarship after failing to meet the minimum standard for the Academic Progress Report (APR).
Division I programs carry 13 scholarship players, and Seton Hall chose to accept its punishment over the 2007-08 season, when it was permitted 12 scholarship players. The school was reportedly notified last summer.
Every Division I sports team calculates its APR each academic year. The APR is based on the eligibility, retention and graduation of each student-athlete on scholarship. An APR of 925 equates to an NCAA Graduation Success Rate of about 60 percent.
Seton Hall was the only Big East program that suffered such a penalty.

How does St. John's avoid punishment?
Last year, their APR score was 909. This year, it is 918. Given that both scores are below the NCAA threshold of 925, how do they avoid punishment?

Uh oh. Is the "Pirate Cove" becoming a pirate "plank"?
I smell someone sinking.
This is NOT good for Shu, no matter how you may like to spin it.
Welcome to Gonzo world. It'll probably go down hill from here on, too. I'd say that Kevin knew all along, and yet, he's the one thrown under the proverbial bus just because he's an ex-RU guy????
Geesh....
