Most JU students are Yankees (e.g. my sister, who attended for two years), but most of their football players are from Florida. I bet the New Jersey kids are making the same jokes.

To be fair, Davidson is also a southern school.

How about banishment to the Atlantic Sun, beginning in 2010?

Drake's number looks okay. I wonder if the coaching change(s) will cause problems.

What happens to PFL schools that don't meet the APR standards? I think the punishment for a low APR is loss of scholarship and postseason ban, but that's not really applicable in the PFL.

Academic Progress Rate (APR) Scores

The NCAA released these scores Tuesday. They cover the academic years 2003-04 through 2006-07. The APR measures retention, eligibility and graduation of athletes at Division I schools. It is designed to be a more current assessment of academic performance than graduation rates.
