I was just recalling conversations I had with several friends on the fb team back when I was in school and they said that they were held to a higher standard even after admission. If they didn't keep a gpa at a certain level, being higher than what was required by ncaa, they wouldn't be able to remain on the team. It's been about ten years since then, so I could have remembered it incorrectly.
No, I don't get any information from Dick Harmon. Haven't read his stuff for years.
