New NCAA Academic Standards - How bad is this going to hurt us?

Looks like it's going to put an end to recruits cramming all of their courses into the back end of their high school career.
It's also the subject of Ivan Maisel's podcast today. Apparently Saban is fired up about this as he should be. This could be a big blow for the SEC IMHO.
These numbers are glaring.

35.2: Percentage of football players who enrolled in 2009-10 but would not meet the 2016 academic standards
43.1: Percentage of men's basketball players who enrolled in 2009-10 but would not meet the 2016 academic standards.

So basketball players are the least intelligent, I see.

This hasn't been talked about enough. It's going to decimate SEC recruiting a good bit.
The coaches really need to get on recruits/commits as early on as they can to GET THEIR WORK DONE in the classroom.

I just put up the same link. I also included a link to a podcast with Ivan Maisel and the author that's pretty informative.
I think the biggest issue is the one that they identify and that is how do you get the word out and get the young kids to take this seriously. The academic redshirt will mitigate the impact somewhat, but not completely as a lot of talented freshmen won't be able to play.
This may be another reason why we are taking advantage of our high profile and going national with recruiting. Prop 48 was first introduced when Archer took over, and we had no plan to deal with it. That was the beginning of the dark ages.

They don't meet the 2016 standards because they don't have to. Most of the players meet whatever is the minimum. They will be fine. Athletes have been coddled for decades. This won't change anything.

Regardless of whether it hurts us or the SEC, this is a good thing. We need to be making sure these kids are getting educated. I know not everyone is above average (or even average), but there are certain minimum standards that all these kids could meet but currently aren't.

These new academic standards will be a huge benefit to Junior Colleges across the country.

Best thing that could happen to college sports.
