Paterno (til his death) railed against Freshman eligibility. Make a kid show he can make it the classroom first. UK basketball players really don’t ever have to attend a class. By the time they fail out, they’re in the NBA.
Why is it then that the UK basketball team’s GPA for the entire year is one of the highest in the SEC? Maybe you better check your facts. I’m not referring to this year’s team, the first semester isn’t over. Further, not all of these kids take sociology or communications classes to slide through.
