Oklahoma State loses practice time

The Oklahoma State Cowboys will be practicing a little less this season because the program's Academic Progress Rate score has dropped below the NCAA's minimum standard.

The football team will lose the equivalent of one practice day per week this season for falling below the standard -- an APR score of 930 over a four-year period, or a score of 940 over a two-year span.

Oklahoma State came close to avoiding the penalty altogether, scoring a 929.41 over the past four years. Had the team posted a 929.50, the score would have been rounded up to 930.

Idiots...they don't even know how to change an athlete's grades correctly!
