As part of a rule change to account for licensing issues with jerseys and video games, the NCAA may institute a requirement for all prospective student athletes to pass the CRCT at a 10th Grade level.
Colleges and universites would be free to offer scholarships to anyone for any reason, but athletic scholarships offered to prospective student athletes who have not demonstrated a competency in reading/writing/arithmetic at a 10th Grade level (as determined by the Department of Education) will not be recognized by the NCAA and won't be able to play in NCAA-sanctioned sporting events.
The NCAA will not require competency at a 12th Grade level because it is understood that many students come from underachieving school systems that do not prepare their students well for the pursuit of a college education.

I could care less about an NFL development league.
I vote to take away all athletic scholarships he make them pay their own way if they keep pushing.

The NCAA could also just up the qualifications to maintaining a 3.0 while in college and require core courses be taken in order to be able to play.
