every school that gives scholarships.

there are substantial gaps in academic qualifications of student non-athletes and student athletes.

and as lsu points out ---"Students not meeting the above requirements for automatic admission are still encouraged to apply. We can take other factors into account to predict your potential for success at LSU. "

i certainly don't know for a fact, but I'd be surprised if all the LSU scholarship athletes had a 3.0 gpa in core courses, 22 on ACT or graduated in the top 10% in their HS class.

let the dummies that dont care about education go play fball in the cfl.

How is that any different from affirmative action/diversity admissions for non-athletes?

If I understand you correctly if a student couldn't get in the school not being an athlete then they can't get in as an athlete. Interesting concept with a strong integrity component; it doesn't have a chance of getting implemented IMO.

The reason is that the big loosers would be the Big Ten Schools, private schools, I'm guessing ND has two sets of standards - but I don't know, UTexas takes a hit, probally USC, and a lot of others. Likely the SEC would see a power shift.

What happens to basketball powers? One and done stars are just done.

I actually think it would be beneficial to LSU.
