The University of Maryland men's basketball team could lose two scholarships due to a poor score in the NCAA's
Academic Progress Rate.
Four of the six seniors on the Terps' basketball team are on track to graduate, but one is a walk-on who does not count toward the APR. Goff would not release the names of the two players in academic trouble. If those two don't graduate by the end of the summer, they could cost the program points if they don't return to school to earn their degree and they left while ineligible.
If either of those two fail to graduate, the Terps hoops team will fall below the passing mark and could possibly lose 10% of their scholarships ... which will round up to two. Not something that Maryland wants to have happen in the ultra-competitive ACC. The NCAA awards extra credit if you have a former player come back to school and graduate ... so expect Gary Williams to be on the phone to some guys to come back and help the program [hmmm ... Steve Francis usually has summers off].
