STATESBORO, Ga. -- Supporting the Bulloch County Relay for Life event Friday night at the Kiwanis Fairgrounds, Georgia Southern student-athletes applauded those who walked in the “Survivors Lap” and then walked alongside their teammates and members of the community. Storms in the area shifted the event from its originally scheduled April 19th date to this weekend, but the weather didn’t cooperate too much more. Survivors, family and friends, however, didn’t let anything dampen their spirits.
Raising funds and awareness to fight cancer and find a cure, Relay for Life is a national event administered by the American Cancer Society. The inaugural national event took place in 1986 and this year marked Bulloch County’s 20th annual event. The theme for 2013 was ““Research through the Decades.” Numerous fundraising events led up to tonight’s overnight walk, including the sale of luminaries dedicated to individuals who lost a battle to cancer or to honor those who have won the battle.
Relay for Life is one of the times Georgia Southern student-athletes all get together to support a community event. Throughout the year, both teams and individuals volunteer their time to organizations and events both locally in the Statesboro/Bulloch County area as well as in their home communities.
Members of all Eagle teams not competing, coaches and staff showed their support for those in the community while remembering family members and friends who have been affected by cancer as well.

Athletics Announces 2006-07 APR Results

STATESBORO,
How institutions calculate APR is as follows: each student-athlete on scholarship (full or partial) in every intercollegiate sport will account for four APR points’ every year - two for the fall semester and two for the spring semester. One point is given for a student-athlete remaining academically eligible and the other point is given for continued enrollment in the respective institution. Each student-athlete can earn a maximum of four points.
Dividing the number of points earned by its student-athletes by the points possible and then multiplying by 1,000 will calculate a team's APR. The multi-year number is the average APR score of each sport from the past four academic years (the first four years since implementation of APR): 2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2006-07.
Twelve of the 15 programs improved their APR from 2005-06 to 2006-07, including men’s tennis which scored a perfect 1,000. The reason those three programs failed to improve on their numbers is because they scored a perfect 1,000 the previous academic year.
“I am very proud of the efforts of our coaches and student-athletes to address the NCAA’s APR guidelines. Positive progress has been made but we must remain diligent in all our academic endeavors,” said Director of Athletics Sam Baker. “We have worked to improve the academic resources available to our student-athletes and the results are showing. Our goal remains to provide our student-athletes with the ability to win a championship ring and earn a diploma.”
Two sports took a contemporaneous penalty based on their team multi-year APR score. Football posted its highest single-year rate at 944, improving its multi-year rate by 15 points to 905. However, football had a reduction of 3.51 scholarships for the 2007-08 year. Golf (913 multi-year rate) was reduced by 0.33 scholarships for the 2007-08 year.
Keith Roughton, Associate Athletics Director in charge of Student-Athlete Services and NCAA Compliance, noted that academics have always been a priority, but since the implementation of APR he has seen first hand the increased commitment by coaches and student-athletes.
“While we are disappointed we are still taking APR penalties, those scholarship reductions, especially in football, have decreased in recent years. We feel our academic program continues to move in the right direction. An example would be football, men’s basketball and baseball - three sports that have suffered a penalty in the past - posting their highest single-year APR score,” said Roughton. “I am proud of the way our coaches and student-athletes are taking advantage of the improvements we have made in resources allocated to them. We are all encouraged by the direction our sports are moving. As we go forward with the rolling four year average we anticipate seeing increases in our multi-year scores.”
