Guest Guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Once these rules are in effect, SU Hoops and most major basketball and football programs will be toast. Great job NCAA- putting the student back in student athlete By Bryan Toporek on October 27, 2011 3:25 PM | NCAA President Mark Emmert wasn't kidding earlier this week when he said that the NCAA would move swiftly to enact substantial changes. The Division I board of directors approved a package of proposals on Thursday that will boost academic standards for student-athletes and improve their welfare on campus. Starting in August 2015, high school student-athletes who hope to play sports in college will be held to a higher academic standard. While freshmen only need a 2.0 GPA to be eligible for competition now, the new rules require student-athletes to have a 2.3 GPA to have immediate access to competition. If a student-athlete meets the current 2.0 GPA requirement but falls short of the 2.3 GPA required for competition, the NCAA approved a proposal that will allow him/her to still remain on his/her athletic scholarship. The NCAA is calling this an "academic redshirt" year. Academic-redshirt student-athletes will be allowed to practice with the team during the first term of their enrollment. They'll be allowed to practice with the team in the next term if they pass nine semester or eight quarter hours. The board of directors also approved a proposal aimed at ending what Emmert dubbed "summer miracles." Under the new rules, college prospects must successfully complete 10 of the 16 required core classes before the start of their senior year in high school, with seven of those 10 courses coming in English, math, and science. One proposal approved earlier this summer, which will link a team's academic success to postseason eligibility, will take effect in the 2012-13 school year. Over the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons, teams will need to achieve a 900 multiyear Academic Progress Rate (correlating to roughly a 40 percent graduation rate) or a 930 average over the past two years (roughly a 50 percent graduation rate) to be eligible to participate in the postseason. In 2014-15, teams need to meet the 930 multiyear APR average or average a 940 APR over the past two years to be eligible for the postseason. And starting in the 2015-16 school year, all teams must reach the 930 APR benchmark to retain postseason eligibility. Otherwise, teams may face new consequences, including a potential loss of practice time or coaching suspensions. "We're trying to balance being tough with being fair. These are noticeably higher standards than in the past, but we recognize we need some time to change behavior," said Walter Harrison, the chairman of the Division I Committee on Academic Performance and president of the University of Hartford.

Guest Guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 My daughter has been recruited for the past two years (signed in Nov.) And these where the rules that where on the books from day one of our journey through that process, which started three summers ago. So as they say nothing to see here move along move along.

Guest Guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Wow a 2.3. That is awesome, what a standard. Are you saying a student that comes in with an 85 avg should not continue their EDUCATION (English that means continue to grow in knowledge) Because they have not flourished by the age of 18 they should just be banished to a menial job for the next 50 years? Pull your head out of your ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest been there Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Sports in college are good. Student/Athletes getting college money if they are not academically qualified for a college is bad. But, bringing in the scum of the earth just to build a basketball or football program is bad. The DIII (or Ivy League) model is the way to go. Get the grades, be a decent athlete and get the academic money. Basketball and Football should have minor leagues like baseball- the problem is, the football minors would go broke (just look at the average loss of MOST college football programs).
