The NCAA requires you to make X hours per year of progress towards your degree to stay eligible. You can't just take random classes to keep a certain GPA. If Hanny is correct, sounds like they put him in a class they thought would count for a degree requirement, but it doesn't.


If that’s the case then it’s not a problem with the NCAA at all. It’s purely an internal issue. Unbelievable that LSU can’t find a way to make the credit hours he took fit in his degree path. Isn’t that what “general studies” degrees are for anyway? Change to a general studies degree and then change back to your preferred major next year.

It's also an Emery issue. He put himself at risk of being ineligible. If it's true, it's an inexcusable mistake by LSU. But it doesn't absolve him from the responsibility of putting himself there in the first place.

Again, the NCAA has rules about this. For obvious reasons, you can't retroactively change majors to remain eligible.
