re: NCAA Eligibility of graduate student atheletes.

quote:

I have written to NCAA president Mark Emmert and other prominent figures, encouraging them to consider extending more years of eligibility to student athletes who achieve the academic success necessary for continuing in graduate school. Typically, this is a 3.0 GPA and some expectation of excellence in a given field.

I think the problem is that there is so much money in college football that the standards for graduate school would be reduced or fudged to keep athletes eligible.

In theory, it is an interesting idea.
