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

Oh, it's true. It was announced in 2014, and takes effect for the 2016 season. ESPN had a segment on it today. They want to force freshmen who don't meet that academic requirement to focus on their grades for a year. During the automatic academic redshirt season, the player can practice with the team, but not play.

Lotta players may be going the juco route.
