New NCAA Academic Requirements start in 2016 - Which SEC team gets hurt most?

Starting August 1, 2016, all incoming freshmen student athletes must have a 2.3 GPA in core classes or serve a required academic redshirt year. Here are the requirements, according to USAFootball...
"Here are the core courses all incoming NCAA freshmen athletes will be assessed on:
Four years of English.
Four years of mathematics (Algebra I or higher).
Two years of natural/physical science, including year of lab if offered by the high school.
One year of additional English, mathematics or natural/physical science.
Two years of social science.
Four years of additional courses – can come from foreign language or comparative religion/philosophy.
Here is another caveat to think about: It is required that 10 out of 16 courses be taken prior to the start of senior year. This means athletes can’t retake these courses to enhance a GPA over time or put off the courses until the end of a high school career."
So... What does tRant think? Which SEC team will be most affected by the new rules?

Not Alabama or LSU, they'll just ignore the rules.

Well, that sucks.
I guess we'll see a lot more juco transfers going forward.

The Mississippi schools.

But are they required to be able to read? LSU fans are anxious to know.

I'm for it.
I would also be in favor of not letting dummies play at all.

Is this is one of those threads where everyone calls every school but their own a dumbass except for Vanderbilt who doesn't have any posters here because they don't have time for message boards?

If true, then it will effect every school. Personally, i think this rule is discriminatory against athletes.

LSU has a really young team this season so they may be well set up to have a yer with a bunch of freshman redshirts if needed.
This is hilarious since the school system in Baton Rouge just lowered the GPA requirements for high school athletes to a 1.5.

I like it although I'm sure loopholes or blatent cheating the rule will happen.

I wonder if, in some states, more athletes will be classified as SPED. A variety of accommodations available, including modified grading scales and extra grade opportunities.

So, now high school teachers and principles will be getting bribe money along with college professors?
That should help stimulate the economy.

I think it probably affects basketball more than football, in that it'll slow down a lot of players who have been reclassifying. Especially this part:
But this is something high schools with potential college athletes have been aware of for some time. In most places you have to have a 2.0 just to qualify to play in HS.

If you think that's going to be a major issue, then you don't understand how the system works: from the high school counselors and coaches to the registrars, clearing house workers, academic advisers, etc.
