If they implement this for 2012 the article claims that as many as 33 schools would not be eligible. My guess is that all of them are probably in the 6 BCS conferences. So when the university presidents realize what the financial blow to their conference is and then to their individual school, we'll see if they really want to implement this or phase it in over a period of years. They are such hypocrites.

All this will accomplish is:

More minority athletes will be denied a chance to go to school since schools will avoid academically risky kids.

All of these kids will not be allowed to take any course more challenging than basket weaving.

There will be even more pressure applied to faculty to pass borderline kids because big $$$$ to the school are at stake.

Realize that these types of rules are voted on by all 328 division 1 schools where the bottom 228 schools have a very different perspective than the top 100 schools who make big $$$ on athletics.
This is just going to hasten the day that the BCS conferences withdraw from the NCAA and institute rules that make more sense for them compared to say Colgate.
