>   BOISE, Idaho — The University of Idaho football team will lose six scholarships for failing to meet the minimum scores on the NCAA's annual Academic Progress Rate reports.
>   The APR measures classroom performance and is based on data collected over four years, in this case from the 2005-06 through 2008-09 years. The report was released Wednesday.
>   Programs must receive a score of 925 or above to avoid sanctions.
>   Idaho's football team received a 908 score, resulting in a one-year loss of six scholarships. The Vandals will operate with 79 scholarships during the 2010 season, short of the maximum 85.
