The Razorbacks mens basketball program will not face losing scholarships or practice time due to its 886 APR score released today, the NCAA announced.
24 basketball programs were hit with penalties, including Syracuse which loses two basketball scholarships and UAB which loses two scholarships as well as having their practice time reduced. Portland State received the harshest penalty of all, a postseason ban as well as losing two scholarships and practice time.
Arkansas was granted leniency, partially based upon a one year APR jump from 755 to 933. It is that 755 score from the 2007-08 season that will keep the Arkansas APR score below 925 for the next couple of years, meaning the threat of losing scholarships and practice time will remain until it falls off the rolling four year average.
