Still, disparities remain. According to the NCAA’s own summary:
• 24 of 49 teams that fell below the 930 APR benchmark were HBCUs—49% of the total, even though HBCUs only represent 5% of Division I teams.
• 67% of Level Two penalties were applied to HBCUs.
• 43% of Level One penalties were assessed to HBCUs. This suggests a concentration of infractions among limited-resource institutions—especially HBCUs—even as most continue to improve their metrics.
• HBCU Football Teams Facing APR Penalties (2023-24)
• Three football teams from the SWAC received Level One penalties that included practice time reductions and postseason bans
