that’s a big change in “policy”

Clearly the “standards” have been loosened
Certainly helps
Where are you getting your info? I am getting completely different info.
When ND was recruiting Faraimo out here, there was a corner they really wanted and stopped once they got his grades.
Hopefully it's "modernized" not loosened
I think the players were eligible for admission as high schoolers so they have the same academic potential as normal recruits. I've seen no evidence that a player not advancing towards a degree, skipping classes, or otherwise performing under standards is being allowed to play for the team.
Didn't the greatest ND player of all time, Rudy, get in as a Junior transfer from Holy Cross?

Hope you are right, remains to be seen

I doubt the graduation rate will stay the same
(no message)
Why do you think it will change?
(no message)
I doubt it will change much, if at all..
they're still making guys go to class and get on pace to graduate as far as I've heard.
There are smart kids all over the country in all the conferences..the primary difference is that most aren't pushed by their Sport Teachers to achieve academic excellence as well.
