How did he stay eligible? You have to show progress

And it’s progress towards a degree with minimal hours. The minimum is 6 credits per term with 40% by the end of year 2. A basic BS degree in the UGA system is 120 hours so minimum of 48 at the end of year 2. 5 terms a year, summer I and II fall winter spring so at minimum he must have 168 credit hours at this point with atleast a 2.0 average. He would have been awarded a general studies BS or BA at 140 hours.

But he was a walk on until 2018. So 4 years on scholarship but the rules are different before that. To walkon at UGA you must be a full time student (minimum of 12 credit hours every term) so 36 plus 2 summer sessions is 42 X 2 years is 84 hours before the scholarship rules applied. So now it’s 84 plus 5 years at 6 per term is a minimum of 204 credits with no degree. 80 plus credits more than most degrees in the Georgia system requires.

Nothing to see here I guess.
