They sure are, so is the whole athletic department and compliance office. I have strong faith that they've been highly on top of it.
Part of the problem is the kids going off to the pros...... There isn't anything that a compliance office can do to keep them in school when their eligibility is up and the $$$$ are elsewhere. or the scholarships are done and the kid needs to come back on his own dime for a semester or so There needs to be some changes made First for compliance to make sure the kid gets done in 5 but also so the program doesn't get penalized for "success" part of the problem in our "bad year" is we had 7 kids if I recall right go to or at least try at the next level.
Eligible players leaving for the pros don't hurt the school's APR:
"The way the Academic Progress Rate is computed, schools get a point for players remaining academically eligible and another for "retention." Players staying on the team must score 930, or 93 percent of the possible points. If a player leaves for the pros, however, the retention point is no longer considered a possible point and the program is not penalized.
"If you become a professional, and you are eligible at the time you become a professional, we do not count retention at all," said Walter Harrison, president of the University of Hartford and chairman of the NCAA's Committee on Academic Performance. "So instead of having two possible points that term, you have one. So instead of having 1-for-2, you're a 1-for-1. It doesn't hurt your rate."

based on that explanation it does hurt a.p.r.
120 out of 126 = 952
115 out of 121 = 950
the first line is if you lose six points but none leave early in good standing.
the second is if you lose six points but five leave early in good standing.
