Dear mods ,
When u clean these old men off the Grahmn front yard please leave my question.
Did Graham take advance placement classes, enroll early, and or take summer classes.?
If he fell behind in first semester could he have been put on 5 year track at lower credit hour per semester.? Would that be allowed?
In general this pionts to a need to get recruits early!
All it depends on is how far off from eligibility he is. He could be really close or not. If you are not eligible after one semester he probably has a gpa below 1.0. Iirc that is the cutoff or around there. Maybe its 1.5. Is he at .9. Or .4? None of us know. If he is too low he has a bigger hole and if we cant dig out this spring and summer he will likely be gone. But he has another semester. He still has plenty of chances and time just needs to buckle down.
I would like to add. Gt SA support staff and tudors are great. If you are a scholly SA and still failing out you dont care. Its not because tech is hard. Its because you dont care. I laugh at all the normal students saying how hard tech was for them and comparing it to our football players.
The team practically gets the answers to the tests, or similar, before every test ok. You read that? We have a 86 percent graduation rate for football. In the history of the school, thats higher than the normal student population, which at times, 50 percent failed out their freshman year. Which at best would put the schools grad rate at 50 percent (its higher lately, but if you use the football measurement still below 86). And. These players are far below the avg tech student in qualification.
So why is that? Hmmmmmm. Perhaps i know why. And i said why. Because they care. And get biGTime help. We help these kids get through school more than most schools. In fact i know one player that had no business at gt and had no prob graduating. He hardly could do much.
Yes. Its harder than most p5 schools if not all. But we give them the golden key. Just gotta care.
