Reply to "Possible big change in NCAA scholarship rules"

I'm sure the rule was created so that a school couldn't offer a player a 25% scholarship from the 11.7 and then 75% based on supposed academics, thus a 100% scholarship is offered to the 2.5GPA kid who can pitch 90 mph. I mean that does sound like the kind of thing the NCAA was supposedly created to stop from happening.

My problem is that I have seen 3.0 GPA non-athletic kids get academic money so it seems unfair that a 3.4 GPA baseball player would be put in this position. I don't think it is necessarily a bad rule, but I do think the criteria bar is set WAY too high.
