That would depend on the path the Juco took to FBS/FCS.

1. Juco signs with FBS/FCS school out of highschool. Redshirts and goes Juco for one season. The player has three years to play three. This used to be the path to transfer into the same conference (SEC and B1G).
   
2. Juco signs with Juco out of high school. Plays one season in Juco. Juco has four years to play three.
3. Juco signs with Juco out of high school. Plays two seasons in Juco. Juco has three years to play two.

Correct, with the addendum that Path #2 is only possible if the player was fully qualified out of HS. Non-qualifiers who go JUCO may not transfer to FBS until they get their Associate's Degree, which generally takes two years. (Path #3 above).

I’m all for personal accountability but you know as well as anybody your stance here is a little simplistic. How many kids in that locker room have zero parent oversight? How many 13 and 14 year olds without parental supervision make the smart choice over and over? I’ve told this story before but I know a kid who went to a parochial, couldn’t hack it and went to a “charter” school for a year before transferrring. Turns out the NJ approved charter school credits weren’t accepted by the NCAA and he was ineligible.

And in some cases the issue started even before they got into high school. If you are not on the right academic track entering high school, it is tough to fix it. So it could be 10, 11 and 12 year olds.

I have a friend who teaches in Irvington. He used to teach middle school. Few years ago he switched to grammar school because a good number of the kids were screwed by the time they got to him. Not much you can teach when a 7th grader can barely read or write.

you don't need to spend 2G to get the bare minimum score on SAT or ACT.

Some kids do. Remember the sliding scale goes up to 1100. I know students that had the tutors that couldn’t get that.

I'm surprised the recruiting schools, Rutgers in this instance, don't get more involved to make sure these guys meet the requirements.

Or at least a school like Rutgers which recruits from a High School that often has this problem, makes sure that that High School knows what these kids need.

How can they. The schools is well aware of the requirements but it up to the kid to take and pass the classes. By the time schools start recruiting the kid they got themselves to deep in a hole.

Chris, I think this is the second or third time one of the Newark high schools gave kids wrong information about what was needed to play at an NCAA school. You would think ( and I doubt it would cost too much) that the NCAA could set up some kind of internet site where kids could type in what they have taken and will take and see if that is enough to make them qualified to play at an NCAA school and maybe even have individual school standards. Maybe the NCAA rules and standards are more complicated than I know. Just my two cents.

How much did the Facebook guy donate again?
