re: NCAA Eligibility of graduate student atheletes.

With the exception of MBA's, JD's, and MD's almost all graduate students are funded; that is, they get a scholarship for tuition and a stipend as a GRA or GTA. Each department only has so many GRA or GTA lines. If an extra grad student shows up in a particular department that does not reguire departmental funding, they would be welcomed because they would increse the department's number of grad students. Graduate classes usually require 5 students to "make", therefor extra student are helpful to a department.

The class load for grad students is usually 2-4 classes per semester and research projects could often be scheduled for off-season and summer. They could handle the workload.

I don't see why transfer stuents would be a problem. It's just different to what were used to.

I would be quite a change, though.

90% of the impact would be in the less popular sports.
