ALL LSU SPORTS TEAMS SUCCEED IN ANNUAL NCAA APR REPORT
ALL LSU SPORTS TEAMS SUCCEED IN ANNUAL NCAA APR REPORT
BATON ROUGE – LSU’s 21 varsity sports teams continue to thrive in the classroom as the Tigers showed improvement over last year in all but one sport in the annual Academic Progress Rates (APR) released by the NCAA on Wednesday.
The APR ratings released by the NCAA are part of the organization’s continuing academic reform efforts.
LSU’s success in the annual APR Report comes on the heels of the school’s Graduation Success Rate (GSR) report last November that revealed an all-time high of 88% for the Tigers.
Women’s basketball, which recently reached the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time in six years under head coach Nikki Caldwell, had the biggest improvement of all LSU teams, jumping 26 points from 949 to 975.
The Tiger football program had an 18-point bounce, going from a 941 a year ago to a current mark of 959.
In all, 16 of LSU’s 21 teams scored at least a 975 with 11 of those reaching the 990-mark or better. LSU had five sports score a perfect 1000 – men’s cross country, men’s and women’s tennis, women’s golf and beach volleyball.
The APR is a point system based on scholarship athletes’ eligibility and retention for a pre-determined time period. This year’s report is for the four-year period beginning in the fall of 2012. Points are awarded each semester for academic eligibility and retention, with two points possible per semester per student-athlete.
NCAA sports falling below the established cutoff point of 930 are subject to penalties including scholarship reductions. A perfect APR score is 1000.

JEFF BROWN RESIGNS AS LSU’S MEN’S TENNIS COACH
BATON ROUGE – Jeff Brown resigned as LSU’s men’s tennis coach on Monday, vice chancellor and director of athletics Joe Alleva announced.
In 20 years as head coach of the Tigers, Brown led LSU to a 312-205 overall mark, which includes a 116-116 record in Southeastern Conference matches. Brown led the Tigers to back-to-back SEC Championships in 1998 and 1999 and the Tigers advanced to the NCAA Tournament 17 times during his career. Brown led LSU to the national semifinals in both 1998 and 1999.
“We appreciate all that Jeff has done for LSU tennis,” Alleva said. “We wish Jeff and his family nothing but success in their future endeavors.”
Alleva said Brown’s resignation was a mutual decision.
Brown first joined LSU as a player in 1985, earning All-SEC honors three times as well as serving as the captain of the Tigers’ only team to reach the NCAA Championship Match in 1988. Brown played on the pro tennis circuit for several years before returning to LSU as an assistant coach from 1994-97.
“It’s been a great run,” Brown said. “We had so much success and had so many great people come through our program. I’m proud of all the players that we coached here at LSU and all that we were able to accomplish as a program.
