[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 415499, member: 2175"] It's unclear to me how a coach could control a GPA, because if he had that much influence with the faculty then the faculty should have their rear ends collectively tossed from the school, and I think there are NCAA rules against such contacts. But: the GPA should not come into play at all. The simple and effective standard across all universities, from tough to easy, is "in good standing". That's all that should count. It means the player is passing and is not a thug. That leaves GT responsible for its students, Georgia for its students, etc. But sure, changing schools should not cost a "student athlete" -- stop laughing -- a year or one quarter of his or her eligibility for making a error of choice at the age of 17 or 18. (Johnson's ezample is perfect: often they view a transfer to a major college that has never had an interest in them. Dreams die hard.) [/QUOTE]
