APR tidbit from board of regents meeting

I have a feeling most UNT fans are tired of hearing about the football and basketball teams' APR scores, but there was one really interesting tidbit that came up at the Board of Regents meeting today.

I wasn't there, but our man on the scene Dan McGraw said that UNT officials noted that the school did have its original penalties from the NCAA reduced. UNT was supposed to lose eight scholarships in football and two in men's basketball.

UNT will have some obstacles to work through just losing five scholarships in football. Eight would have been even worse. Losing two scholarships would have been tough in basketball as well.

UNT officials were able to get some appeals through that helped reduce the hit the athletic department took in both sports.
