PHILADELPHIA - Temple Athletics and academic success continue to go hand-in-hand as evidenced with the latest release by the NCAA of its Academic Performance Rate (APR) Wednesday.
Ten Temple University athletic programs had perfect 1,000 APR scores for the 2014-15 academic year according to the recent data while the Owls' Football team, coming off a historic year on the gridiron, is one of only two programs (Purdue University) to never show a decline in its APR figure since the metric was formulated in 2004.
Temple also measures up extremely well in terms of its American Athletic Conference peers.
