NCAAF News: Akron ineligible for postseason due to low Academic Progress Rate

Add to Favorite
Added to Favorite


Akron football hasn’t played in a bowl game since 2017, and the Zips will enter the 2025 season knowing the postseason won’t happen this year, either.

Akron failed to meet NCAA-imposed academic standards last season, falling below the organization’s minimum Academic Progress Rate score of 930. According to statistics released this week by the NCAA, Akron was last in the nation at the Division I level at 914 and is ineligible to compete in an FBS bowl.

Falling below the 930 benchmark can lead to penalties ranging from reductions in practice time to a bowl ban. If a program falls below 900, it could lose its Division I status.

After the 2022-23 academic year, Akron scored 925 and lost 20 percent of its weekly practice hours for 2024.

Being below the mark for two straight years leaves the Zips unable to compete in the Mid-American Conference title game, too.

With a 1,000 score, national champion Ohio State led the nation in Academic Progress Rate.

Akron is coached by former Mississippi State head coach Joe Moorhead, who has an 8-28 record in three seasons there.
