Changes in NCAA rules adopted Thursday would keep defending national champion Connecticut from participating in the 2013 NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Under the rules adopted by the NCAA's Division I Board of Directors, a school cannot participate in the 2013 tournament unless it has a two-year average score of 930 or a four-year average of 900 on the NCAA's annual Academic Progress Rate, which measures the academic performance of student athletes.

Calhoun "confident" NCAA will re-evaluate and adjust their formula. If the NCAA does not, UConn will not qualify for 2013 if they have to use the school's 2009 results (which were very low). Well, cry me a river will you. This will probably not be the only BCS school in a fix so you know the NCAA will bend over once more for the big guys.
