This is incorrect. I can't speak for all the schools but UGA has turned away a few kids because of this and they have enrolled at other SEC schools.

UGA football isn't in the business of collecting smart college football players. It's in the business of winning.

If UGA turned a kid away under the guise of deficient academics--but he nonetheless qualified under NCAA standards--it's because Richt et al. didn't believe said kid would help the team win.

No program in this conference is consciously tying its hands when it doesn't have to.
