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.


I think it changes very little. I'm guessing one kid every three years or so that has to go the JUCO route instead of gaining eligibility.

I think we'll be hurt by this more than some of you think. The entire SEC actually sans Vandy will have more guys that aren't takes. At least they can still join the team though...just can't play if they still qualify under old standards.

But Division II teams are rejoicing over this. They can offer immediate playing time for these guys when Division I schools can't.
