fanofgame,

California JCs and D1 treat the 24 hour rule slightly differently. For the JC: "The 24-semester/36-quarter unit count begins with and includes the units taken during the first semester/quarter of competition for that sport and must be successfully completed prior to the beginning of the semester/quarter of the second season of sport."
The cumulative GPA requirement also starts in the term of first competition.

So the JC player can bomb during his first semester, and it really won't affect his JC eligibility. If he transfers to a 4 year college, a bad first term is then going to cause problems.

On the other hand, a D1 player has to have 24 hours by the start of the fall semester--at least one semester earlier than a JC player.
