(EXCERPT) Four OU programs — women's golf, women's gymnastics and men's and women's tennis — registered perfect multiyear APR scores of 1,000. This is the third consecutive year that OU's women's golf and women's gymnastics programs posted a perfect APR score, and the second straight year that women's tennis has accomplished the feat. Men's basketball, which advanced to this year's NCAA Final Four, recorded its highest multiyear APR ever with a 984.

Ten OU athletics programs recorded a perfect 1,000 single-year APR score in 2014-15, most in the Big 12 among the 19 sports that the Sooners sponsor. Those programs are men's and women's basketball, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's golf, women's gymnastics, men's and women's tennis and women's rowing.

So proud of the OU student-athletes. Congratulations to both basketball programs!!

All of the women's sports should be 1000. FYI I two daughters that play or will (next year) NCAA sports. Women's athletics is completely different than men's.

Could you elaborate?

I've coached girls and boys HS basketball, daughter walked on a juco for basketball and a son that plays juco baseball...

besides the desire to make a living at it (or opportunity) I don't see much difference. Both lift, practice, travel, the time commitment is up to the individual player really...unless you are just saying women are smarter and can handle the time commitment and pressure to win.

I can tell you first hand the juco my daughter walked on was bad. Coach was not good but she made sure the girls knew they weren't doing well (in ref to "pressure to win"..they had it just as bad)
