But I thought you just said that there are only qualifiers and non-qualifiers? Does the conference have additional rules that dictate how this plays out? This is the type of stuff that just drives me batty. It makes me feel like the NCAA as a governing body is....dare I say....f#$king incompetent....
I did... I'm not making the judgement because I don't have the facts as they pertain to him or Krill.
This shreds some light for JUCOs:
"Generally, a non-qualifier is a student athlete who is attempting to transfer before completing their general education/associates degree. In Division I, if you are transferring from a two-year college and have never been certified as a final academic qualifier, the requirements to compete, practice, and receive an athletic scholarship in your first year are:
Attend the two-year college full-time for at least three semesters or four quarters;
Achieve a cumulative GPA of at least 2.000;
Graduate from the two-year college; and
Have at least 48 transferable credit hours at a semester school or 72 transferable credit hours at a quarter school, including six semester hours or eight quarter hours of English and three semester hours or four quarter hours of math.
Only 18 semester hours or 27 quarter hours may be earned during summer terms. And only 9 semester hours or 13.5 quarter hours may be earned the summer immediately prior to a transfer to a Division I school. The same midyear transfer rules for baseball and basketball and physical education credits rule for men’s basketball apply to non-qualifiers as well."
... And yes, there can be/are different conference requirements and a waiver process for special cases. It's a cluster_______!
We need to find the JUCO's/Preps that went that route for exposure/seasoning not academic improvement.
