New minimum 2.3 core GPA in HS or else automatic "Academic Redshirt" starting in 2016

Nope. This won't solve many of the ills in the process.

IQ test?

To anyone that's freaking out about this or will in the future, 2.3 out of high school isn't really asking a lot. If a kid can't get a 2.3 in high school, I don't think they are ready for college.

Haha. I just don't think this will change a TON. If Eddie Lacy somehow qualified before, he will again.

I get your point, but still, it's going to change for everyone at some point. I guess the only way to make that transition fair for everyone is to "prorate" the changes in a way, so that the people graduating in 2016 have less to comply with than say the 2017 class, and then the 2018 class has to do it all. That's the only way I see it being "fair" to everyone. BEsides, these kids still have two years to bring up their grades. If they're sitting below the mark at this point, then chances are they may have been very close to being an academic casualty anyway. Time for them to tighten up their bootstraps.

Salute to you sir. A man that understands self accountability and self determination and is not caught up in the mantra of "fair" or not fair" to excuse those who don't take care of their business and want to blame others.

Good news!!! Maybe some of these kids that can't read will learn how to.

For once we agree!

Yeah instead of shipping a kid like DJ Jones to East Miss CC we could have signed him. At the same time other teams would've probably pursued harder too.

I hope it's like that. It'd be a real risk. If kids can't get a 2.3 in HS then it'd be a big risk IMO to take them hoping they can turn it around in a year. A lot of kids would still go the JUCO 2-3 years 1 and done route though

I dont think it would've helped him or any kid in that situation. I mean currently the rule is set a 2.0 and will be UP'd to 2.3. If he couldn't make it in now then he def wouldn't in a couple years.

This rule won't help any academically ineligible player suddenly become eligible and just make them RS, it will make it even harder for some of these boarder line kids to become eligible in the first place.
