The newest four-year Academic Progress Rates have been unveiled by the NCAA, and the Idaho football team has been stung again by its substandard academic performance. The Vandals will lose one scholarship because of its multi-year APR of 923, just below the penalty threshold of 925. Over the last four years, Robb Akey's team has lost 15 scholarships. The stiffest penalty came after the 2006-07 academic year, when the NCAA took eight scholarships away from the Vandals. UI logged an APR of 904 that year. No other UI teams will face penalties. The men's basketball team had a score of 942 while the women's basketball team came in at 953/Josh Wright, SportsLink. More here. Also: Idaho Statesman story.

Question: Would you rather have a good football team with bad scholastic scores or a bad football team with good scholastic scores?
