More on Academic Progress Report

TECH NEAR PERFECT ON REPORT

Georgia Tech fared well in the initial data with 16 of its 17 teams scoring above the 925 mark. Only the Yellow Jackets' baseball team, which had seven players drafted after their junior year, came in below the mark (907).


Remember, you get penalized a little on the scoring if a player does not graduate AND does not return. However, if he leaves in good academic standing, then not such a big deal.

TECH SA'S PERFORM WELL ON INITIAL APR
From Dr.Clough:

"I'm very pleased with Georgia Tech's numbers. As one of the few technological research universities competing at Division I-A athletics, I'm very impressed with the success of our student-athletes and coaches. Since we have no calculus-free majors at Tech, I'm delighted that our first report shows us to compete very well with other Division 1A programs around the country. We have a very good foundation from which to build and we will continue to be vigilant as we build a winning program on the playing field and in the classroom."
