More bowl-bound Division I football programs are meeting the NCAA's minimum acceptable academic standards than last year, according to a study released Monday.
The report by the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida found that of the 64 teams headed for bowls, 73 percent earned recent Academic Progress Rate scores of above 925, which means they would not be subject to NCAA penalties.
In 2006, only 63 percent met the cutoff.
