I'm good with it. Removes the possibility our players are not capable of understanding then executing our systems. So then what, is he restricting from practice players not achieving >3.5 GPA?

I can remember way back when things like the cumulative GPA meant something and made me feel good about the program.

Why should I care if the mercenaries made good grades in their remedial courses?

I noticed that too. Bama is like #4 APR? Something doesn't add up. I'm too lazy to research where the discrepancy is.

"86 players with a 3.0 GPA or better" may be mostly non-scholarship players?

No way Bama is ranked ahead of UF in any academic categories, we all know that you can’t not be proficient at academics and football. Just ask Texas and Michigan………

Grade inflation….if you can call it that now…psychosis is closer.

We are something like 40th in Academic Performance Rating per the NCAA. Are we really winning "in the classroom"?
The APR calculation penalizes for portal transfers. We've had a ton over the past 3 years.

Diving into the subject, APR was dumb pre-portal, now it's beyond dumb.

If you’re finding solace in our academic standing as a program at the conclusion of our third consecutive losing season, this gif is for you…

Nobody GAF if we are high or low on this list.
I don't care. Most of these players have no business attending college from an academic and intellectual standpoint and they are only there because they are good at football or basketball. Most of them take useless majors anyways.

The only people who care about academic rankings are all of the elites from the wine and cheese crowd. There are a number of Universities who balance quality academic performance with athletic excellence, two of them play in the CFP on Monday.
