Message: [QUOTE="rrlbees, post: 1444066, member: 96"] I've been involved in the past with a kid struggling to meet initial eligibility and I've known coaches during my coaching days in the same situation. It's not always about the SAT/ACT score or the GPA and the sliding scale. Sometimes it's about the 16 core courses required. An example is Math. You need 3 math credits. They have to be college prep type courses and be courses such as Algebra or better. Some players will want to use a course like personal finances or similar. The NCAA doesn't allow that and will sometimes ask about a specific course and even a syllabus (this goes back a ways). There is time involved in this back and forth with so many kids needing to be cleared. Best thing a kid and his family can do is get the NCAAs college bound handbook and understand it and follow it.
