I think it is BS. I could maybe see 3.0 but 3.5 come on.

That kinda sucks considering a lot of walk ons take real classes and a 3.5 isn’t easy in college.

Let’s be real, how many walk ons actually contribute? If you can’t hold up the team gpa then what else do you do?

Do walk ons count toward the team numbers for graduation, GPA, etc?

Coach Kelly hasn't yet realized that the caliber of student found at LSU is vastly different from the caliber of student walking around the Notre Dame campus.

It’s a 2.5 not a 3.5.

That’s tough man. I had Cs in Organic And Bio-Chemistry, which would have eliminated me those semesters.

Might be his way of purging dead weight and getting his picks to start over?

3.5 is a pretty high bar. 3.2 or something would seem acceptable.
