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.



This. It would be big if they implemented it this year, but four years is plenty of time to acclimate.

I think it could actually help some kids get eligible, by forcing them not to wait until the last minute. Also it will help coaches know who's actually going to make it to campus, and recruit accordingly.

Also, Saban and Miles are not the ones who should worry. They get the cream of the crop of currently eligible players and that won't change. They will still get the best eligible players. The bottom feeders who get some players for academic reasons will be hurt more, IMO.
