<blockquote><p align=justify>
&nbsp;UL's football, men's outdoor track and men's golf teams face scholarship reductions for next season based on the NCAA's most recent Academic Progress Rate report, which was released on Wednesday

All three teams suffered "contemporaneous" scholarship penalties after logging multi-year APR scores below the minimum threshold of 925 - approximately a 60 percent graduation rate - and having at least one student-athlete leave school when academically ineligible, known as a "0-for-2." The NCAA can reduce scholarships for any team that falls short of the required multi-year APR average and has a 0-for-2.
