The NCAA Academic Progress Rate might is a bit more important in college football than it is for basketball - it can be a tie-breaker when it comes to bowl bids. But it still matters.

What is the APR? It's a ranking and rating of academic eligibility and staying in school - there's a bigger breakdown here, if you're interested.

For basketball teams it's a little easier than it is for football - fewer players to help get through classes - but on the flip side, if just one player is out, that crushes the overall score.

Have a low enough score - all the Big 12 schools are more than fine - and there can be penalties and even a post-season ban.

After finishing No. 1 among Big 12 schools last year, where does Kansas men's basketball rank among the Big 12 schools? The highest possible score is 1000.
