[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 401195"] And as we've all discussed, the 1 and dones and 2 and dones have ruined the "student" part of "student athletes" in basketball. If you look at the academic requirements, they are a complete waste of time for anybody trying to get to the NBA before graduation: [URL]http://www.ncaa.org/about/division-i-progress-toward-degree-requirements[/URL] * The first year is like the wild west, where you can do literally anything as long as you retain eligibility via the school's own rules. * Prior to the start of your second year, you have to have completed 24 hours of class and you have to have 90% of the minimum GPA to be eligible (ie 1.8 GPA if its 2.0). So think about that - if you took about 10 hours of class a semester and 4 hours over the summer, and had a 1.8 GPA, you're good to continue on through year 2. * Prior to the start of your third year, you have to have completed 40% of your degree, and have 95% of the minimum GPA (ie 1.9 GPA if its 2.0). So if you have been there 2 years + 2 summer semesters, you literally would have only had to have taken about 9 hours per semester worth of class and have a cumulative GPA of 1.9. Especially at schools not called Georgia Tech, imagine just how easy that is. I mean, that's not even really going to school. [/QUOTE]
