The Wisconsin Badgers’ football program finished as the top academic program in the nation this past season. The Badgers ranked No. 1 of all Football Bowl Subdivision schools in Academic Progress Rate (APR), scoring a 996.
APR tracks the “progress of their student-athletes through a team-based metric that accounts for the eligibility and retention of each student-athlete for each academic term”.
UW-Madison is recognized as one of the top public research universities in the country and the athletes are clearly taking advantage of their resources off the field.
A lot of credit needs to be given to former 2022 head coaches Paul Chryst and Jim Leonhard and their staffs. They made sure to instill a level of academic discipline in their athletes.
New head coach Luke Fickell looks to follow their lead in 2023 and beyond.
