No Wis. Division I schools face NCAA penalties on academics
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- None of Wisconsin's four Division I schools face any penalties from the NCAA this year based on the academic performance of their athletes.
But the report released Tuesday showed the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men's basketball team fell two points short of a standard of 925 out of 1,000, and was thus required to develop a specific academic improvement plan.
A school spokesman said such a plan has already been forwarded to the NCAA.
The report listed the following Academic Progress Rate scores for teams at Wisconsin's Division I schools:
Wisconsin -- football, 944; men's basketball, 938; men's hockey, 939; women's basketball, 968; women's hockey, 995.
Wisconsin-Green Bay: men's basketball, 959; women's basketball, 984.
Wisconsin-Milwaukee: men's basketball, 923; men's baseball, 928; women's basketball, 985.
Marquette University: Men's basketball, 954; women's basketball, 986; women's soccer, 991.
