UH will lose scholarships due to the APR

HSB Note: "Hawaii will lose athletic scholarships, including one or two in men's basketball, when the NCAA releases its annual Academic Progress Rate numbers Tuesday. Baseball is also expected to lose a half scholarship, and football might also be affected for a third year in a row, sources told the Star-Bulletin yesterday. More severe penalties, including postseason bans, can be levied on teams that fall below a score of 900, which represents around a 50 percent graduation rate. Baseball (904) and men's basketball (913) received APR scores last year that drew warnings. Squad-size adjustments to the rankings kept them from losing scholarships."

About how they will not lose any football scholarships due to the APR, Mack said:
"We have a 925 score, which is the highest it's been. We also had 32 scholar-athletes this year, which is also the most ever." (HSB)

HSB Note: "In 2006, Hawaii lost five football scholarships and one in baseball. Last year, one football scholarship was forfeited."
