The NCAA released its Academic Progress Rate data for the 2022-23 academic year on Tuesday, and it should come as no surprise that the Duke Blue Devils absolutely excelled.
The Duke athletic program earned perfect APR scores in 14 different programs. Both cross country teams, both golf teams, both soccer teams, and both track teams all earned perfect 1,000s.
The men’s lacrosse team, the softball team, the women’s swim and dive team, the women’s volleyball team, the field hockey team, and the women’s fencing team all earned the same grade.
USA TODAY Sports’ Scooby Axson wrote that only Notre Dame (16) earned more perfect grades than the Blue Devils among FBS schools.
Duke football finished with a score of 987, the fourth-highest in the ACC.
