[QUOTE="SBU72, post: 257184, member: 741"]
I have a couple of questions.  Who determines if a player is in academic good standing?  I mean does the NCAA require a minimum GPA and if so, is it different than the schools?  When I was in college decades ago, I was in good standing with a 1.6 or 1.7 GPA after my freshman year.  That was the school standard.  But the NCAA at the time required a 2.0.  Also, does a player have to have a declared major?  These guys who are one and doners could be taking "general studies" in advance of declaring a major and get away with taking just basic courses and get minimum grades.  And  a long these lines, it is completely possible to be in good standing and not be able to graduate after 4 years.  You could have the GPA, you could have the credit hours but maybe not the right ones.  I guess I don't understand the wavier for going pro.  How does that work?  Does a 1 and doner who completes his first year and gets a wavier get 1/1 (or 2/2) but then you don't have to worry about 0/3 for the next 3 years for him?  Why wouldn't a school ask for that for Fab.  Get 1/2?
