CP, yep. Notice I said "lower", but not how low. I have no idea how low the UCs can or will go on the academic scale when they are looking for athletes, but my guess is that the academic standard is different for all sports - and football would probably take lower than baseball. I once heard a rumor that one athlete (cannot recall the sport) got in to one UC with a 1.9 GPA, but again, that was rumor...

There was a bit of an uproar among the academia at UCLA when Kevin Love was admitted. He did not meet the academic standards combined with it was expected he would use the school for one year.

When Bob Toledo got the standards lowered for football, he nearly got a national title. But he ended up getting smoked by Miami and stuck with a bunch of thugs with arrest records.
