Hampton, VA -- Hampton University lost 6.3 scholarships in football and 0.28 in men's indoor track in the 2011 Academic Progress Rate data released Tuesday by the NCAA, mirroring a larger trend among historically black colleges and universities, which continue to struggle with the annual measurement of classroom performance and athlete-retention rate of Division I teams.
Norfolk State lost two scholarships from its men's basketball program.
HBCUs accounted for 33 of the 103 penalties assessed for the 2009-10 APR reporting year, a fact officials attribute to a combination of factors -- including lack of resources at the traditionally smaller, less-funded schools, as well as a high rate of turnover within the athletics department and at the presidential level.
