re: 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."
