How bad do you have to mess up to get a 929. Now you have me doubting what I have been told to be true. This score as you pointed out tells me that Coleman must have really hurt us? We did not have a full load of ships either I don't think. Dixon graduated the school, does it matter what his GPA was when he graduated?

929 means a loss of likely 3 points 39/42 = .9285. That was the closest I could get to 929 for one year and would fit with what you said about not having a full load of ships

GPA doesn't matter at all. You don't even get credit for graduating. All that matters is that you return for school the next semester. That's it. You are only excused from returning if, ONE, you left for the pros having completed the semester (GPA doesn't matter), or TWO, you transferred with at least a 2.3 GPA, or THREE, you graduated. That's it.

Thought they increased it to a 2.6?

Well, Coleman and Giplaye transferred out so that's two lost points and I'm guessing one of them had a low GPA to make the 3 points lost. What a mess this is.

When did they transfer out? End of season or mid?

How many scholarship players did PC have?

When did Sidiki Johnson start counting?

It's quite possible that Coleman and Giplaye were OK.

So back to Paschal Chukwu, I'm hearing Texas is getting involved.

Given how awesomely Barnes is at developing talent, we should wave the white flag now.

I didn't see that. It was 2.3 last year. They may have increased it.

End of season for both, I think we had 12 ship players and Sidiki became eligible 2nd semester this year, but what about Kiwi Gardner who never became eligible because of the clearinghouse 11-12 but stayed in school on some sort of financial help, then left after the year?

Maybe it was just being discussed.

I think you're right, I remember reading it was 2.6.

It was originally a 2.3, but has since been raised a season or 2 ago.

It's crazy. Why would a transfer be subject to this but not a kid that takes off as a freshman for the pros?

When I was "training" as a college instructor (masters' student, only 24 years old) I was told that my class GPA average had to be a 2.7. We had to grade on a curve, and at the end of semester, I needed to be within .1 of that curve.

That means that the average student in my class would be borderline failing the APR if he were to transfer! But if he was going to the pros, I could give him a 1.0!!!

Thanks for the sanity checks on the NCAA rules you provide. I wish the idiotic columnists that keep harping on APR rankings would read your posts before writing their trash.
