When is the last time anyone can recall a player missing a semester for academic probation?

Academic probation
- Thread starter SemperFiCat
- Start date
I honestly think it would be ridiculous and a quick lawsuit would probably stop that now. I don’t even think grades should factor in now, it’s always been a joke except for walk ons and a few who really wanted a useful degree because they weren’t going pro.

Really good question
One the NCAA probably doesn't want to discuss publicly - most sports centric universities probably don't want to elaborate either
So weird

When is the last time a freshman was denied admission based on GPA/test scores?
Definitely not as bad as "stripper probation".
UNCheat: "but real students took the fake classes too"
UofL: "it was just a stripper party"
I remember Prop 48 too. Shawn Kemp was probably the most well-known of that.
I had completely forgotten about that.
Too much money at stake.
Millions of dollars in revenue or punish a kid for flunking Science class?

I imagine if someone tried to sit someone for this they would sue because their "right to earn" was being violated, which the courts have held is violating a player's core rights.
when you see it, it's in football these days
last guy to formally go on academic probation at Kentucky was Cliff Hawkins during the fall semester of 2002. Last prop 48 signee was Marquis Estill I believe.

Online education has made it so easy to pass a class, a monkey could do it.
Eric Manual wasn't. He played his freshman year for us, then sat out his sophomore year while his college admissions exams were under review. The NCAA first questioned him about his test results in July prior to his sophomore year, and didn't come to a final ruling on them until May of the following year.
Good one in remembering Estill. I completely forgot about him being Prop 48.
I remember watching him his whole first season and thinking, “this guy is the next UK star.“
