It is not the guys leaving early that is the issue.  It is if they are in academic good standing or not.  I'm not sure what that means exactly.  As a freshman decades ago,  I only had to have like a 1.6 or 1.7 cum to be in good standing after freshman year.  I could fail 2 and get B's in two and meet that standard.  Now if these other schools get a class load where a b-ball player is carrying only 12 credits of courses that don't require class attendance or alot of outside work, then these guys could easily get high enough grades to meet the criteria.  I jokingly said the other day maybe Kentucky allows its students to take their baskets on the road to be worked on.  And this may be closer to the truth than it seems.  Like some sort of lit class might allow outside reading that could be covered in Cliff notes and make it easy to get passing grades.  It may only take a little effort to get minimum grades.  It all depends on the courses and if the kid want to do even that, or has the incentive to do so.
