Wouldn't it be easier for the NCAA to simply require that athletic scholarships could only be awarded to students with a 10th grade reading, writing, arithmetic level on the CRCT or other standardized test?
It seems like a lot of the other scenarios and consequences would work themselves out quickly, considering how much money is at stake, as far as NFL farm teams, developmental league, etc.

they basically had that rule before 2003, but it was skirted by proxys taking theSAT/ACT and grade fixing. I think that was what they were trying to fix with the new rules, but the colleges found way around it. The NCAA and the schools wanted the scam to have at least on the face a more noble and just MO. The new method pretty much ensures there will be more graduates, the College aspect of it is clearly in the eye of the beholder....

Just FYI - CRCT is only given through 8th grade. I get your point, though. Trouble is, standardized tests pretty much suck as indicators of anything beyond the ability to take tests well. But that's a debate for a different thread.
