-College teams that consistently underperform in the classroom are getting hit harder by the NCAA. Nearly 150 college teams face possible scholarship losses next season and 26 others are in danger of being banned from postseason play if they don't improve next year. The NCAA's annual academic progress report was released Tuesday. It showed more than 700 teams fell short of the mandated cut score. But only 218 were penalized with warning letters, potential reductions in scholarships and practice time and warned they face possible postseason bans. Some were granted waivers by the governing body.
