Right, but it doesn't appear that we're talking about a situation in which a kid coasted through high school and didn't get the grades.  Maybe you know the specifics, but it sounds like we're talking about some Senegal high school equivalent coursework that isn't up to NCAA standards (as if they have any way to measure that).

So the NCAA is saying it doesn't give a damn if he had straight A's and a perfect SAT score; that's totally irrelevant to them.  They're saying he essentially didn't take X number of courses.  So why would he not be allowed to just take the equivalent of those courses in junior college and be done with it?  (Rhetorical question)

This would be a very simple thing to add since this seems to be a somewhat common issue.  The NCAA would just need to have 2 courses of action depending on the reason a player was deemed academically ineligible.  One course of action for the stupid athletes who couldn't get satisfactory grades and one course of action for the not stupid athletes who took the courses their high school told them to take.
