The NCAA on Tuesday released its latest Academic Progress Rate (APR) for each member school — a metric that the organization uses to track the academic performance of Division I athletes — and the University of Minnesota's teams continued to fare well.

Six Gophers teams received perfect multiyear scores of 1,000 in data that includes the 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 academic years, while seven others had scores of at least 990. Every Minnesota team was well above the multiyear score cutline of 930, a number the NCAA requires programs to meet to avoid penalties that include postseason bans and possible scholarship losses.

The Gophers' perfect multiyear APRs came from basketball, cross-country and golf on the men's side and gymnastics, hockey and volleyball on the women's side. In addition, those six programs, plus baseball, women's basketball, women's golf, men's hockey, women's soccer, men's swimming and diving and women's tennis, had 1,000 scores for the 2023-24 school year.

Minnesota's 992 multiyear APR in football ranks fourth in the Big Ten behind Ohio State (1,000), Michigan (996) and Northwestern (993). The Gophers' APRs in the 2015 and 2023 reporting periods helped the team secure bowl bids when it didn't reach the required six regular-season wins to make it. In both years, a strong APR landed the Gophers in a bowl game in Detroit because 5-7 teams with the best APRs could fill an unfilled bowl slot.

In men's basketball, the Gophers' 1,000 multiyear score shared the Big Ten lead with Indiana, Nebraska and USC.

The Gophers women's basketball team's APR of 986 is tied for 10th in the Big Ten with Purdue.
