Savannah State football team faces postseason ban

SAVANNAH, Georgia -- Savannah State’s football program had been banned from posteason competition for a low Academic Progress Report for the second year in a row, and the team faces NCAA restrictions on practice time and days both in and out of season.

Savannah State loses its spring football practices as part of the Level 2 restrictions.

SSU had an APR — a multiyear assessment of a program based on graduation rates — of 846. To remain eligibible, a school must have a 930 over five years or 940 over the past two seasons.

The Tigers also face potential restrictions in women’s basketball, but they have applied for an NCAA waiver. Women’s basketball had an 853 APR.
